Ghani said he congratulated Imran Khan for winning the general polls in the neighbouring nation.

" I just spoke to @ImranKhanPTI and congratulated him on the victory in parliamentary elections. We both agreed to overcome the past and to lay a new foundation for a prosperous political, social and economic future of both countries #Afghanistan and #Pakistan," Ghani tweeted.

Inviting Imran Khan, Ghani said: "I extended an open invitation to Mr. Khan and he expressed his wishes to visit Kabul soon."

Pakistan voted to elect a new Prime Minister last week.

Imran Khan and his PTI scripted a major victory in the polls.

He will take oath as the PM of the nation in the next few days.
