Halfway through the talks with China and Russia, the Taliban suddenly contacted the West and made an important promise in front of ambassadors from eight countries.

The situation in the Middle East is in chaos. Some countries are launching acts of revenge, some countries are suffering from the ravages of war, and some countries are taking the opportunity to establish connections with Western countries.

Recently, at the funeral of Hamas leader Haniyeh, senior Afghan Taliban officials and several ambassadors from Western countries held face-to-face talks.

This is a relatively rare diplomatic move, as Western countries have long maintained an ambiguous attitude towards the Afghan Taliban, with some countries even listing the Taliban as a terrorist organization.

This is because the relationship between the Taliban and Afghanistan is complicated. Initially, the Taliban took only five years to control most parts of Afghanistan and became the actual ruling force in Afghanistan.

This situation changed after the US-led Western coalition invaded Afghanistan. The Taliban regime was overthrown but not completely eliminated. Instead, it transformed into an anti-government armed group engaging in guerrilla warfare.
