Afghan spokesman claimed visit involved meeting local officials, diplomats

JAKARTA: Representatives of Afghanistan's Taliban government traveled to Indonesia earlier this month on an unofficial visit, Jakarta's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, despite Kabul saying they held meetings with politicians in the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation.

The Taliban administration that took back power in August 2021 is trying to shore up recognition of its rule across the Islamic world, including courting Indonesia to boost political and economic ties.
