KUALA LUMPUR -- A midlevel Taliban delegation visited Indonesia this month "to improve relations" between Afghanistan and the world's most populous Muslim nation, a Taliban source told Nikkei Asia.

The visit, said analysts, was an attempt by the Taliban to gain support for international recognition and court foreign investment in Afghanistan to shore up its ailing economy, which is among the poorest in the world.
