Ghani heads to Kuwait, for Emir’s funeral, and then to Qatar
(Last Updated On: )
Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani left early Monday for Kuwait to attend the funeral of the late Emir, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, who died last week.
After paying his respects, Ghani will immediately head for Doha, Qatar, to meet with high-ranking government officials.
Ghani is expected to arrive in Doha late Monday on an official visit and is scheduled to meet Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani to discuss bilateral relations and ways to enhance them, the Gulf Times reported.
Doha is currently the venue for the intra-Afghan negotiations between the republic’s negotiating team and the Taliban. No mention has yet been made as to whether Ghani will meet with either side during his visit to the Qatari capital.
