EU hosts Taliban officials for the first time in talks on deportations
ONP Summary
Belgium approved visas for a five-member Taliban delegation to visit Brussels for meetings with European Commission officials focused on deportations of Afghan nationals denied asylum. The meetings represent an elevated level of direct engagement between the European Union and the Taliban following their 2021 return to power, despite the EU's formal non-recognition of the Taliban government. The talks have drawn criticism from human rights groups and political opponents concerned about returning individuals to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
Moderate: Outlets emphasize the paradox of the EU engaging in high-level talks on deportations with a Taliban government it does not formally recognize, and note criticism from human rights organizations; some highlight this as among the most significant diplomatic contacts between the EU and Taliban since 2021.
Conservative: Outlet frames the talks as pragmatically necessary for strengthening EU deportation enforcement, while reporting that political opponents characterize the engagement as a serious mistake.
