Describing India as an important country, senior Taliban leader Sher Muhammad Stanikzai said Afghanistan wanted a relationship with India like it was before with focus on trade and economic ties.
In a televised speech meant to address the fears of the international community, Stanikzai seemed to bat for trade with India via Pakistan while also calling for the air trade route to remain open.
Stanikzai was also quoted as saying that Taliban attach importance to cultural and political ties with India. He also extended support to the Chabahar port in Iran which has been developed with India&rsquo;s assistance.
Earlier, Hindustan Times had reported that Stanikzai had informally reached out to the Indian side after the Taliban took over Afghanistan and made a surprise request for New Delhi to retain its diplomatic presence in Kabul.
Taliban spokespersons Suhail Shaheen and Zabiullah Mujahid had also previously spoken about the group&rsquo;s views on relations with India. However, Stanikzai is the first senior leader to make a statement on relations with other countries.

Pakistan and its intelligence service have played a key role in fostering the Taliban and allowing it to eventually take over Afghanistan, a top Republican lawmaker has alleged.
Congressman Steve Chabot, Co-Chair of the India Caucus said that it is disgusting to watch Islamabad celebrate the group&rsquo;s victory that will bring "untold brutality" to Afghans.
While addressing a Hindu Political Action Committee event on Sunday, Chabot applauded the Indian government for welcoming the Afghan religious minorities fearing persecution under the Taliban rule.
The Congressman also slammed Pakistan on persecution of minorities in the country, saying that such allegations are not mere hearsay.
&ldquo;Pakistan's own persecution of religious minorities, however, gets a lot less attention here in America than it deserves. We would do well to educate our fellow citizens about these abuses. Persecution is particularly manifests in the heinous practice of the kidnapping, force conversion to Islam and forced marriage of underage Hindu girls to older Muslim men,&rdquo; he said.

Afghanistan may be governed by a ruling council now after the Taliban takeover, while the movement's supreme leader, Haibatullah Akhundzada, would likely remain in overall charge, a senior member of the group told Reuters.
Many issues regarding how the Taliban would run Afghanistan have yet to be finalised, Waheedullah Hashimi said, but added that Afghanistan would not be a democracy.
"There will be no democratic system at all because it does not have any base in our country," he said.
The Taliban would also reach out to former pilots and soldiers from the Afghan armed forces to join its ranks, Hashimi added in the interview.
On recruiting soldiers and pilots who fought for the ousted Afghan government, Hashimi said the Taliban planned to set up a new national force that would include its own members as well as government soldiers willing to join.

With the Taliban's takeover of Kabul thousands of people have fled Afghanistan fearful of what the future may hold for the nation, including a well known actor in the country.
Farhad Khan is one of many Afghan refugees now living in a camp in the Pakistani city of Karachi.
The local star has worked with different actors across the globe and said one person he wanted to follow in the footsteps of was that of Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan.
But since the takeover he expressed his fear of returning to Afghanistan and continuing his career in the country after what he said the Taliban had done to actors in the past.
"The Taliban do not want actors' working in films and dramas," he said.
"They have killed lots of people who were working in TV and film. It would be my last days if I visited Afghanistan again."
Khan added he was now stuck in Pakistan and felt "helpless" about the situation.
The actor's fear is shared by others in the Karachi refugee camp including student Naseeb Khan, who has been living in Pakistan for the last four years.
Since their takeover the insurgents' every action in their sudden sweep to power has been watched closely.
They insist they have changed and won&rsquo;t impose the same draconian restrictions they did when they last ruled Afghanistan, all but eliminating women&rsquo;s rights, carrying out public executions and harboring al-Qaida in the years before the 9/11 attacks.
