Saudi Arabia reopened its embassy in Kabul three years after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021.
"With the will of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in order to provide all kinds of services to the fraternal people of Afghanistan, it has been decided to resume the work of the country's representation in Kabul," the embassy said in a message.
The kingdom evacuated all employees of its diplomatic mission in August 2021, shortly after the Taliban announced that they had taken control of all areas of the Afghan capital. After three months, Riyadh decided to resume the work of the consular section of the embassy in Kabul.
In February 2023, all Saudi Arabian diplomats again left Afghanistan and returned to the kingdom for security reasons.
