Bakhtar News Agency, under Taliban control, reported on Saturday, 15 November 2025, that the delegation includes representatives from Tajikistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, security agencies, and other government institutions.
According to the report, the purpose of the visit is to expand political, security, and trade relations.
It is said that the delegation will also discuss the Afghan embassy in Tajikistan with the Taliban.
