KABUL (Pajhwok): President Ashraf Ghani, who met on Monday with the new Russian ambassador to Kabul, stressed enhanced bilateral relations between the two countries.

Ghani received Alexander Mantytskiy at the Presidential Palace and discussed with him issues concerning bilateral relations, economy, trade and efforts at countering narcotics, a statement from the palace said.

The Russian ambassador, who presented his credentials to the president, assured of his country’s support to the Afghan unity government.

He said he would try to further promote Russia’s relations with Afghanistan during his stay in Kabul.

The envoy said Russia was eager to complete construction projects his country had left unfinished in Afghanistan.

Afghan deputy foreign minister Atiqullah Atifmal also held a separate meeting with the Russian ambassador and insisted that Russia could play a major role in stabilising Afghanistan.

“Russian investors can invest in various Afghan sectors and we can benefit from the technology Russia possesses,” he added.

Mantytskiy also promised scholarships for Afghan students in different fields of engineering.
