KABUL, April 6 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi arrived here on Friday and was warmly received at the Presidential Palace by President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani.

The Afghan national television reported that during his day-long visit, Abbasi would meet Ghani and Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah to exchange views on matters of mutual interests, including enhancing bilateral relations between Kabul and Islamabad.
