Taliban Appoints New Diplomat for Afghanistan Embassy in Berlin

DID Press: German media report that the Taliban government has appointed a new diplomat to lead Afghanistan’s embassy in Berlin. This move comes while the German government has not provided any official recognition of the change.

According to media sources, the identity of the appointed diplomat remains unclear, and it is unknown whether they have previous experience in Afghanistan’s diplomatic service.

Germany’s Foreign Ministry stated that it is not aware of this change at the Afghan diplomatic mission in Berlin and has not received any formal request from the Taliban to accept the new diplomat.

These developments occur as Germany does not officially recognize the Taliban as Afghanistan’s legitimate government, leaving diplomatic relations limited and informal.
