India-Abghanistan Relations: Foreign Minister of India Dr. S. There was a phone conversation between Jaishankar and acting Foreign Minister Aamir Khan Mottaki, acting minister of the interim government of Afghanistan. The conversation took place on Thursday (May 15, 2025). This conversation took place for the first time between the Foreign Minister of India and the Minister of the Interim Government of Afghanistan.
During this conversation, Afghanistan’s acting External Affairs Minister Mottaki condemned the Pahalgam terror attack. The move of Mottaki was appreciated by the Indian Foreign Minister and wrote on X that “Mottaki rejected the latest attempts to create mistrust between India and Afghanistan based on false and baseless reports, which I welcomed.”
Many meanings of Dr. Jaishankar’s interaction with Afghan acting foreign minister
This dialogue is important because tension is going on between India and Pakistan and the distance of Afghanistan-Pakistan is constantly increasing. It is also worth noting that India has not yet recognized the Taliban government of Afghanistan. But amid the changing equation, India’s Foreign Minister’s interaction with the acting foreign minister of Afghanistan comes out.

Relationships with Pakistan, but Afghan citizens’ relationship with India is sweet
Controversy in Pakistan and Afghanistan is continuously increasing, whether it is a border dispute between the two or other issues. At the same time, India has always been standing for the good of Afghan citizens, no matter what the circumstances have been. India kept their relations with the general public of Afghanistan. Before the Taliban comes to power, India has made a big investment in Afghanistan, including large projects like roads, hospitals, electricity.
Earlier, there was a conversation between India and the interim government of Afghanistan in Dubai in January 2025. India’s Foreign Secretary and Afghanistan’s caretaker Foreign Minister were involved in this meeting. Even before this, there have been some meetings in Kabul, but the information has not been made public.
Pakistan’s concern may increase by seeing India-Afghanistan relations
But the way the government of Pakistan seems to be standing in opposition to Afghan people, there is a big controversy between the two countries on all the issues. This conversation among them shows that India’s strategy can change with this region. India has been continuously sending humanitarian aid, so that the people there can get help, but this time this conversation can definitely increase the concern of Pakistan.
Now it will have to be seen that later on what is the conversation between the acting government of India and Afghanistan and what is the result. But one thing is clear that this conversation would not have been liked by Pakistan.
