According to Zamir Kabulov, this position was supported by a number of governmental bodies.
"Positive," he said, when asked about the Foreign Ministry's position on the issue.
"This (removal of the Taliban from the list of banned organizations before its recognition) must be done", he said in an interview with TASS.
He added that without this, it will be premature to talk about recognition, adding that therefore, work on this issue continues.
"All considerations have been reported to the top leadership of Russia. We are waiting for a decision," Kabulov added.
According to him, the Taliban has come a long way towards being recognized since it came to power in Afghanistan in 2021. "But there are still a few hurdles to overcome, after which the Russian leadership will make a decision," Kabulov pointed out.
The diplomat also said that Moscow has no plans to hold any events or exchange congratulatory telegrams with the Taliban government on the 105th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and Afghanistan. "For a purely formal reason: the lack of official recognition," he explained.
