Online Roundtable Discussion on Chasing Unicorn: Norway’s Taliban Diplomacy


Norway's recent efforts, including mediation secret talks between the former authorities of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the Taliban, and subsequently Norway's hosting of Taliban leaders in January 2022 have raised many questions regarding Norway’s foreign policy and its engagement with the Taliban. In order to answer these questions, the Institute of Strategic Studies of Afghanistan held a webinar "Chasing the Unicorn: Norway’s Taliban diplomacy” on 20 January 2023 to assess Norway’s foreign policy in engagement with the Taliban.
