UN Secretary-General visits Afghanistan
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made a surprise visit to Afghanistan today, where he met President Hamid Karzai and the commander of Nato troops.
Mr Ban’s first visit to the country was aimed at “ensuring solid co-ordination between the UN and Afghan government in their joint efforts,” said Adrian Edwards, the UN spokesman in Afghanistan.
Mr Ban also met with the head of Nato’s International Security Assistance Force, Gen. Dan McNeill, and other officials, Mr Edwards said in Kabul.
