Taliban delegation visits Brussels for EU migration talks

A delegation from the Taliban has arrived in Brussels for talks with the European Union focused on migration and the return of Afghan deportees. The visit marks the first official EU-Taliban discussions on this issue, with the Taliban seeking consular access for Afghans in Europe.

Rights groups have criticized the EU for engaging with the Taliban on migration matters, arguing it legitimizes the group. The Taliban spokesperson, Abdul Qahar Balkhi, is part of the delegation.
