According to Indian media, a representative who currently works at the Mumbai consulate has already been selected. This Ikramuddin Kamilwho previously studied in India. However, he still does not have a diplomatic passport.

No country has yet officially recognized the IEA government, but several countries in the region have accepted diplomats from Kabul. Meanwhile, a small “technical” team of Indian officials has been working in Kabul for several months.
