As of July 2026, who is the Foreign Minister of Afghanistan?

Correct answer: Amir Khan Muttaqi. Amir Khan Muttaqi has served as the Taliban government’s Foreign Minister since 2021.

Background: The Taliban returned to power in August 2021.

• Shahid Karzai: Shahid Karzai is not the Foreign Minister.
• Abdullah Abdullah: Abdullah Abdullah is a former Chief Executive, not the Foreign Minister.
• None of these: “None of these” is incorrect because Amir Khan Muttaqi is correct.

Did you know? Many countries have still not formally recognised the Taliban government.

Memory trick: Muttaqi = Foreign Minister.
