Dr Mohammad Ashraf Ghani will become the first Afghan President to visit Australia when he arrives in the country on Sunday.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Afghanistan and Australia shared a solid connection which has been forged over more than a century.
"During this visit, discussions will focus on our ongoing security and development co-operation to help Afghanistan in its efforts to become more prosperous, secure and self-reliant," Mr Turnbull said.
"In particular, we will seek to enhance partnership between our nations in a number of fields including women's and girls' empowerment, public sector capacity building and agricultural productivity."
Dr Ghani's visit to Australia is due to wrap up on Wednesday.
