Afghanistan's president is to discuss security and female empowerment during a meeting with Australia's prime minister.

Ashraf Ghani arrived in the Australian capital, Canberra, late yesterday on the first Australian visit by an Afghan president.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said in a statement the visit reflected a strong bond between the two countries. He says security and female empowerment will be discussed today.

Ghani will meet Australian Governor-General Peter Cosgrove and lay a wreath at the Australian War Memorial before he meets with Turnbull.

Australia lost 41 troops in Afghanistan following the US-led invasion in 2001.
