Taliban to Host First Public 'Victory Day' Reception in New Delhi
The Taliban is set to host its first public 'Victory Day' reception in New Delhi on August 17, marking five years since it regained control of Afghanistan. The event, organized by Noor Ahmed Noor, the Taliban's chargé d'affaires in India, will include diplomats, members of the Afghan diaspora, and media. While India does not officially recognize the Taliban government, it is expected to be represented at the reception, which will be closely watched for diplomatic symbols such as the Afghan flag.
