New Delhi, Oct 24 (IBNS): President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan met with Indian President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, in New Delhi.

President Ghani is on a one day working visit to India at the invitation of Prime Minister Modi.

He called on the Indian President at the Rashtrapati Bhavan early on Tuesday, which was followed by his visit to Hyderabad House to meet PM Modi.

Prime Minister Modi is hosting a lunch in honour of President Ghani, prior to which they engaged in detailed delegation level talks. 

India's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj also called on the visiting dignitary.

President Ghani will also give a public address at Vivekanand International Foundation.

The invitation on behalf of Prime Minister Modi for President Ghani to visit India was extended by the National Security Adviser of India when the latter visited Kabul on Oct 16.

According to the MEA, the visit will build upon the recent high level bilateral exchanges between the two countries, including the recent visits of Dr Abdullah Abdullah, Chief Executive of Afghanistan on Sep 27-29 and that of the Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Salahuddin Rabbani on Sep 10-11 to India for the meeting of the bilateral Strategic Partnership Council, which was co-chaired by EAM.

Both sides will have the opportunity to review the entire gamut of multifaceted bilateral strategic partnership, including the New Development Partnership; hold consultations and coordinate on furthering the shared objective of promoting peace, security, stability and prosperity in Afghanistan and efforts to combat the menace of terrorism; and discuss regional and global issues of mutual interest, the MEA release said.
