Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban’s foreign minister, traveled to Russia on Wednesday, despite being on the United Nations sanctions list.
The Taliban-led Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the visit came at the invitation of Russia for Muttaqi to participate in the sixth Moscow Format meeting, which is set to take place on October 4.
This marks Muttaqi’s sixth trip abroad in the past year.
Muttaqi has been under U.N. sanctions since the September 11, 2001 attacks, which include travel bans and asset freezes.
