EU Commission invites Taliban officials to Brussels for talks on deportations
May 13, 2026
Brussels [Belgium], May 13: The European Commission has invited representatives from Afghanistan to Brussels for talks on deporting Afghan nationals who have no right to stay in the European Union.
The invitation follows a first meeting in January in Afghanistan, a spokesman for the European Commission said on Tuesday.
The consultations were requested by 20 EU and Schengen countries last year, he said. "We are also convinced that returns to politically sensitive countries pose challenges that need to be addressed comprehensively and in a coordinated manner," the spokesman said.
