Taliban officials came to the Ministry of Interior

Representatives of the Afghan Taliban regime have paid a visit to Austria's Ministry of the Interior. The ministry confirmed a corresponding "Standard" report to the APA on Thursday. Discussions and cooperation between the Afghan administration and the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum are necessary to implement deportations of criminals to Afghanistan, according to a statement.

In another release, it was emphasized that the delegation had supported the BFA in identifying individuals in preparation for deportations. This involves more than 20 people. The need for such contact had already been announced by Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) a few weeks ago.

BFA Officials Have Already Been to Afghanistan

Austria is striving to deport especially criminal and rejected Afghan asylum seekers to their homeland, even though the radical Islamic Taliban regime is in power there. Officials from the BFA visited Afghanistan at the beginning of the year. It is therefore at least the second bilateral contact. Germany has already carried out deportations to Kabul.
