Taliban members visit Brussels. This is the first meeting in 5 years. The EU commission meets the men. Officials from 15 EU countries join them.
The main topic is sending people back to Afghanistan. The EU wants to send criminals back fast. Dangerous people must leave the country. The EU needs help from the Taliban.
The Taliban want help for their people. They want to give out passports in Europe. This is called consular services. The Afghanistan ministry calls the visit historic.
The EU calls these talks technical. Experts talk to each other. No big politicians meet them. The EU does not accept the Taliban as government.
Many people dislike these talks. The Taliban hurt people in their home. They suppress women. They stop school for girls. Critics say the talks help the Taliban.
Germany also wants to send more people back. Soon, more Taliban diplomats visit Germany. They help to find out who the people are. This makes travel papers fast.
