New Delhi: Vice President Hamid Ansari will represent India at the swearing-in ceremony of the new Afghan president, Ashraf Ghani, which is to be held on Monday.
"Vice President Hamid Ansari will represent India at the swearing-in ceremony of the new president of Afghanistan," ministry of external affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said.
Ghani was declared Afghanistan's next president last Sunday after he signed a power-sharing deal with rival Abdullah Abdullah, which brought to an end the prolonged uncertainty over the presidential election.
According to the power-sharing deal, Abdullah will be the chief executive officer (CEO) of the national government.
