Abdullah Abdullah (born 5 September 1960[1]) is an Afghan politician. He served as Foreign Minister of Afghanistan from October 2001 to April 2005. He unsuccessfully ran for President of Afghanistan in 2019.

Following the collapse of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, on 17 August 2021, leader of the Taliban-affiliated Hezb-e-Islami party Gulbuddin Hekmatyar met with both Abdullah and Karzai in Doha wanting to form a government.[2][3] Former President Ashraf Ghani said that he supported such negotiations.[4]
