Taliban forms global alliances without formal recognition

The Taliban government in Afghanistan has strengthened its international ties in security, trade, and energy five years after regaining power, despite limited global recognition. While Russia was the first to officially recognize the regime, many nations remain hesitant. Key partnerships include China, which invests heavily in mining projects, and complex relations with Pakistan amid accusations of harboring the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan. Neighboring countries like Uzbekistan and Iran are engaging economically, while Western nations maintain a focus on security and humanitarian issues.
