However, it is more likely that any such deal would be more similar to an arrangement in Germany, with only foreign criminals and rejected Afghan asylum seekers covered.

Last month, Germany resumed deportations to Afghanistan after negotiating a returns deal with the Taliban, even though Berlin does not officially recognise the Taliban government.

Germany has sent 109 Afghans – all convicted criminals – back on two flights in the past year, with deportations starting as a reaction to the fatal stabbing of a police officer by a failed asylum seeker in Mannheim.

In 2021, after taking over Kabul, a Taliban spokesman said Afghan courts would “decide how to proceed” with any asylum seekers who had committed crimes abroad.
