Afghan President Ashraf Ghani today arrived in Islamabad on his first official trip to Pakistan.
Ghani, who is due to meet Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Mamnoon Hussain, was welcomed by Prime Minister’s Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz.
The visit is seen as a bid to reset ties between the two neighbors ahead of the US draw-down later this year.
Talks between leaders of Pakistan and Afghanistan will focus on bilateral political engagement, trade and economic cooperation, border security and counter-terrorism, energy and connectivity, reconstruction and rehabilitation, and people-to-people contacts, the foreign ministry spokesperson had said.
