President Mohammad Asharf Ghani has invited Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and prime minister-designate Imran Khan to visit Kabul.
The invitation was extended during a telephone conversion between Ghani and Imran Khan on Monday in which the president congratulated Khan for his victory in general election.
“We both agreed to overcome the past and to lay a new foundation for a prosperous political, social and economic future of both countries Afghanistan and Pakistan,” president Ghani wrote on his verified twitter account.
In the meantime, (PTI) official Naeemul Haque on Sunday confirmed the phone chat, saying the president invited Mr. Khan to visit Kabul.
“The Afghan president telephoned Imran and congratulated him over his victory in the 2018 General Election,” Haque said while addressing the media in Islamabad.
“Ghani told Imran that Pakistan and Afghanistan have historic relations and invited him for a tour of the country,” the PTI leader added.
Haque further said that the PTI chief informed the Afghan president that he will visit Kabul once he assumes power.
