Five years after the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, the government is actively working to build diplomatic relationships. Russia remains the only country to officially recognize the Taliban regime, although several other nations are engaging with Afghanistan's leaders for practical reasons, as reported by Free Malaysia Today.

According to NDTV, Taliban officials are focusing on cooperation in security matters and promoting cross-border infrastructure projects to enhance the country's fragile economy. This comes amid significant cuts to international aid, which have heavily impacted Afghan citizens.
