Senior Afghan Taliban officials in Japan for talks with Japanese officials

Senior Afghan Taliban officials are in Japan for talks to help Afghanistan build a more inclusive political system and protect human rights, according to Japanese officials.
This trip marks the Taliban's first known diplomatic visit outside Central Asia and the Middle East since gaining control in 2021, according to media reports.
The Taliban officials seek humanitarian support and aim to engage as active members of the international community, as stated by Latif Nazari, the Taliban's deputy economy minister.
Japan does not formally recognize the Taliban as Afghanistan's official government due to ongoing restrictions on women and girls, mentioned by Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi.
