Modi to meet visiting Afghan President Ghani today

April 28, 2015 08:44

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who arrived in India on Monday night on a three-day state visit, will on Tuesday hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House.

Although this is Ghani's first first visit to India after he became Afghan President seven months ago, he has already met Modi during the SAARC summit in Kathmandu last November.

Ghani had to delay his visit for a few hours following a major Taliban attack in Kunduz province, Afghan reports said.

Ghani had conferred with NATO's top commander General John Campbell and Afghan security officials on Monday following the Taliban attack on police and Army check posts in Kunduz.

On Tuesday, the Afghan President will be accorded a ceremonial welcome at Rashtrapati Bhavan and later go to Rajghat to lay a wreath at the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will call on him at the Dwarka Suite of Rashtrapati Bhavan after which he will leave for Hyderabad House to hold talks with Modi.
