New Delhi: In the wake of a string of terror attacks on Afghan security forces that have been masterminded by the Pakistan-backed Taliban, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani will be undertaking a surprise one-day visit to India on Tuesday.
The invitation was extended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Afghan President and was conveyed personally by national security advisor Ajit Doval when he visited the strife-torn country recently.
During the visit, the Afghan President will meet his Indian counterpart Ram Nath Kovind and will hold delegation-level talks with Modi during which a gamut of bilateral ties will be discussed. The Afghan President will also be delivering an address at a thinktank in New Delhi. The visit is also being seen as a message by both countries to their common hostile neighbour Pakistan that they will not be cowed down by terror attacks.
