Sri Lanka, May 16 -- External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has held a telephone conversation with "Acting Afghan Foreign Minister" Amir Khan Muttaqi, marking India's first ministerial-level outreach to the Taliban administration in Afghanistan.

This conversation took place yesterday (15).

The call occurred days after the Taliban administration, which India has yet to officially recognise, condemned the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians and numerous injuries.
