EU to invite Taliban officials to Brussels to hold migration talks

The European Union is planning to invite officials from Afghanistan's Taliban government to Brussels for their first known official visit, to discuss ways to deport some Afghan migrants back to Afghanistan.

Western countries have declined to recognize the Taliban since the Islamist fighters swept back to power in Afghanistan five years ago, overthrowing a government that had been backed by U.S. and NATO troops for two decades.

An EU spokesperson said the ⁠planned Brussels meeting was being set up in response to a request from several EU member states. No date had been set yet, and the meeting did not mean the EU had recognized the Taliban.
