Kabul, Dec 25 (IBNS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated Afghanistan's new Parliament built by India, report said.

Modi, who arrived early on Friday morning from Moscow after a two-day visit to Russia, will y address a joint session of the two Afghan Houses in the new Parliament building along with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
 

The Parliament building project, which was initially conceived at a cost of USD 45 million (Rs. 296 crore), was started by India in 2007 as a mark of friendship and cooperation to help rebuild war-torn Afghanistan. The complex was last estimated to cost Rs. 710 crore in 2008.
 
The  building  will house the Wolesi Jirga (Lower House) with a seating capacity of 294, a 190-seat Meshrano Jirga (Upper House), besides other facilities like a conference hall and a press room
 
 Modi was welcomed with a warm hug by President Ghani at the Presidential Palace. "A meeting between friends," the Prime Minister's Office captioned, in a tweet.
 
The two leaders later held delegation-level talks at the Dilkosha Palace, the Afghan presidential office. They are expected to issue a joint statement later today.
 
Modi will also meet Afghanistan's Chief Executive Officer Dr. Abdullah Abdullah and former President Hamid Karzai.
