Uzbekistan accredits an Afghan Taliban ambassador, marking a significant diplomatic step.

Uzbekistan has accepted an ambassador from Afghanistan's Taliban, marking a notable diplomatic step for the isolated regime. Abdul Ghafar Bahr, the appointed envoy, is the third ambassador accredited since the Taliban's return to power in 2021, following China and the UAE. While fostering cooperation, these nations have yet to recognize the Taliban government, citing concerns over human rights. The Taliban has also signed a gas exploration contract with an Uzbek company.
