Afghanistan announces permanent closure of Indian embassy

Afghanistan embassy announces permanent closure of the diplomatic mission in New Delhi due to persistent challenges from the Indian government; the decision follows the earlier cessation of operations on September 30. All diplomats from Afghan Republic have left India, marking the conclusion of 22 years of diplomatic presence. The embassy hopes Indian government stance will favorably change to let mission operate normally. Embassy acknowledges potential characterization of move as internal conflict but asserts it is result of broader policy and interest changes. Embassy extends gratitude to Afghan citizens for their understanding and support throughout the tenure.
