India's Ministry of External Affairs Joint Secretary Anand Prakash said air freight corridors connecting Kabul with Delhi and Amritsar have been activated and cargo flights will begin very soon.

He added that all formalities on India's side have been completed and authorities are awaiting documentation from Afghan officials.

It is worth noting that Indian airlines are not currently operating flights to Afghanistan because Pakistan has closed its airspace. Afghan carriers, however, continue to run regular passenger flights between Kabul and Delhi.

Experts say factors contributing to the renewal of ties include worsening Pakistan Afghanistan relations and China's growing influence in Afghanistan.

Last month, Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi visited New Delhi, marking the first visit by a Taliban leader since 2021, after which India reopened its embassy in Kabul.
