A representative of the Taliban movement (banned in the Russian Federation) was assured during the talks in Moscow that they would not violate the borders of neighboring Central Asian states, according to the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
During the talks, Russia expressed concern about the escalation of the conflict and the risks of its exit to the states bordering Afghanistan. “Assurances were received from the Taliban regarding the non-violation of the borders of the Central Asian states by the group, as well as guarantees of the security of diplomatic and consular missions of foreign states on the territory of Afghanistan,” the report says.
