Attaching importance to forging closer relations with India, the new Afghan regime is sending its Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah to New Delhi on Wednesday.
Abdullah's visit is primarily aimed at conveying to New Delhi the new interim administration's appreciation of India's consistent support to the Northern Alliance, officials said.
The Afghan minister is expected to call on Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He will also hold talks with External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh and Home Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani.
Abdullah, who has been in the forefront of Northern Alliance's long struggle against the Taliban, has maintained close contacts with Indian leaders over the years.
Officials said Abdullah's discussions with Indian leaders would also focus on economic reconstruction of Afghanistan.
