A Taliban envoy in New Delhi marks Afghanistan’s Victory Day with remarks focused on Afghanistan’s role in regional cooperation. During the event, the envoy says Afghanistan’s geography should be used as a “bridge for connectivity, cooperation and shared prosperity,” rather than as an area for “negative competition.”

The statements are presented in the context of ongoing outreach tied to India–Afghanistan relations. The outlet coverage emphasizes the envoy’s framing of foreign policy priorities and regional connectivity, portraying Afghanistan as a potential link for trade and collaboration. Other outlets in similar coverage typically focus on diplomatic signalling and relationship-building, though this set of articles primarily foreground the envoy’s message about geographic cooperation.
