The European Union has invited Taliban representatives to Brussels to discuss migration, amid a push by roughly 20 member states to establish practical diplomatic channels with Afghanistan.
Member states are seeking to open deportation pathways despite the EU's non-recognition of Taliban authorities and their documented human rights violations, particularly against women and girls.
The move reflects the bloc's prioritization of migration control over previous stances on engaging with Afghanistan's de facto government. EU officials have not yet confirmed dates for the talks or specific agenda items beyond migration cooperation.
