Embassy of Turkey, Kabul

The Embassy of Turkey in Kabul is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Turkey to resident in Kabul. Formally, the embassy and its staff are still accredited to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The ambassador meets with the unrecognized Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan officials and Taliban members as practically they are the current government of Afghanistan. In March 2022, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has expressed the intention to internationally recognise the Islamic Emirate. The current situation regarding Turkey recognising the Islamic Emirate is ambiguous.

The current ambassador is Cihad Erginay who presented his credentials to then President Ashraf Ghani on 22 May 2021.

Organisation
Alongside with its usual responsibilities, the embassy operates four additional offices: military, education, trade, and a representative office of Turkey's Ministry of the Interior.
