KABUL, Afghanistan – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in Kabul on Wednesday to hold talks with his Afghan counterpart, a spokesman in Hamid Karzai's office said.

It is Ahmadinejad's first visit to Iran's eastern neighbour since Karzai was re-elected following a deeply controversial election in Afghanistan in August.

"President Ahmadinejad arrived," Siamak Hirawi, a deputy spokesman for Karzai, told AFP.

"They will discuss bilateral relations between the two countries and expansion of economic relations between the two countries," Hirawi said.

The two presidents were also scheduled to discuss economic projects that benefit both countries, including a railway line from Tajikistan through Afghanistan to Iran, transport and similar projects, he said.
