He also extended support for the Rohingyas in the country. 

Widodo touched down at the Hamid Karzai International Airport on Monday morning. 

He wrapped up his visit to Bangladesh on Monday where he extended support to Rohingyas for their safe return. 

During his state visit to Bangladesh he signed  at least five instruments, including two memorandums of understanding (MoUs), aiming to enhance bilateral relations, trade and investment, and boosting cooperation in different sectors between the two countries.

Widodo arrived here at ARG on Monday morning and was received by President Ashraf Ghani. 

This is Widodo’s first visit and he was accompanied by his wife. 

Ghani and Widodo are expected to discuss a wide range of issues. The two presidents will also hold a joint press conference after talks.

During his trip to Islamabad two days ago, Widodo told President Mamnoon Hussain that his country could play a key role in the Afghan peace process.
