India and some other member nations were against the proposal, following which the meeting had to be cancelled due to “lack of concurrence”.
A meeting of foreign ministers of member nations of the South Asian Association of Regional Association (SAARC) was cancelled as Pakistan reportedly insisted on having the Taliban as representatives of Afghanistan.
Multiple reports suggested India and some other member nations were against the proposal, following which the meeting had to be cancelled due to “lack of concurrence”. The new Taliban regime is yet to be officially recognised by most nations, including India which has raised questions on the non-inclusive nature of its government. A number of its top ministers are blacklisted by the United Nations.
The Saarc is a regional intergovernmental organisation of South Asian countries — India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan was the latest entrant to the bloc in 2007.
