The Embassy of India in Kabul is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of India to Afghanistan. The current Ambassador is Rudrendra Tandon.[1][2]
The Indian embassy and consulates in Afghanistan had been targeted by militants repeatedly.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
The embassy as well as consulates were closed in August 2021 after 2021 Taliban offensive.[9] Taliban ransacked Indian diplomatic missions in Afghanistan.[10]
In June 2022, India finally re-established its diplomatic presence in Afghanistan by sending a 'Technical Team' with humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan at its Embassy.[11]
