Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari arrived in Afghanistan capital Kabul Tuesday after a two-week postponement in the trip, an official in foreign ministry said on the condition of anonymity.
The road leading from Kabul international airport to Afghan Presidential palace in the capital city has been decorated with the portraits of Zardari, Pakistan national flags, billboards and banners inscribed with slogans "Long live Pakistan-Afghanistan friendship".
Zardari was due to visit Afghanistan in last December but the journey was postponed due to bad weather.
This is the first visit of President Zardari to Afghanistan during which he would exchange views with his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai on boosting cooperation in war on terror, economic and trade activities between the two neighboring nations, the source added.
Both the nations have been facing increasing Taliban-and al-Qaida linked insurgency over the past couple of years.
