Afghan Chief Executive Officer and Head of the Council of Ministers Abdullah Abdullah arrived in New Delhi today on a five-day visit during which he will hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on key regional and bilateral issues including security cooperation.
The Afghan leader's visit comes nearly a month after PM Modi's trip to Kabul during which he inaugurated the new Afghan parliament building, constructed with India's aid.
Primarily in India to attend a conference on counter- terrorism in Jaipur, organised by India Foundation in association with Sardar Patel University of Police Security and Criminal Justice, Abdullah will call on PM Modi and hold a meeting with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj tomorrow.
He will leave for Jaipur on Tuesday.
His visit also comes as India gave three of the four multi-role Mi-35 helicopters to Afghanistan last month. They have been assembled and are now fully operational to combat terrorism in the war-torn country.
During the visit, the two sides are expected to talk about security cooperation with Afghanistan seeking enhanced defence assistance including lethal weapons.
