Nicaragua has appointed an ambassador to Afghanistan, local media reported, in a rare move increasing ties with the diplomatically isolated Taliban regime.
Michael Campbell, currently Nicaragua’s ambassador to China, will take on the additional role from his office in Beijing.
“We thank the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, that people, that government, for the blessing they have given to our comrade Michael Campbell,” Nicaraguan Vice President Rosario Murillo said Friday, according to the pro-government news outlet El 19 Digital.
Since their 2021 return to power, Taliban authorities have not been formally recognized by any nation.
The Nicaraguan government did not mention recognizing the Taliban government in its announcement.
