Putin says 'Taliban could possibly be removed from terrorists' list'; calls for inclusive govt

The removal of the Taliban movement from the list of terrorist organisations is possible, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. Speaking at a meeting of the International Valdai Club in Moscow, Putin last week emphasised that this must happen at the level of the United Nations. The Russian president noted there must be no rush in officially recognizing the Taliban as the new rulers of Afghanistan, but stressed the need to engage in talks with them.
