The leader of Pakistan met with the Afghan president on a “historic” first official visit to Kabul which aimed to build trust and strengthen relations between the two often acrimonious neighbours.

Afghan president Ashraf Ghani called the visit “historic” while Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan said his government would do “everything possible” to help reduce violence in the war-torn country.
