I hope they rethink their decision and end up coming to the conference ... We would be happier if they did come.
President Hamid Karzai and other senior Afghan leaders have repeatedly stressed the importance of Afghanistan’s self-sufficiency and national sovereignty.
I absolutely agree with it
I had told President Karzai that Afghan soil was used for attack on Pakistan and we are protesting over the attacks
Foreigners are not going to give money forever
President Hamid Karzai asked ... for the foreign minister to participate in the Bonn Conference because Pakistan's participation is in the interest of both countries
I welcome and support your decisions
President Hamid Karzai called Prime Minister Gilani and officially asked the Pakistan government to participate in the Bonn conference
This strategic partnership with the United States will never be signed without discussing with you and that it will be clear and unambiguous
I welcome President Karzai's announcement of the second group of areas to enter the transition process
We want our national sovereignty, and an end to night raids and to the detention of our countrymen
The government of Hamid Karzai insists that it has received 29 billion dollars. The West (the U.S. and EU) speaks of 79 billion dollars being transferred through Kabul. Even if we assume 100 billion dollars, that's just one-tenth of the military aid
I’m fully endorsing every one of your resolutions
President Karzai's announcement underlines the progress made this year and shows the Afghan government's goal of assuming lead responsibility for security across Afghanistan by the end of 2014 is on track
The Afghan defence and interior ministers must come up with a plan so that we fund our own troops in the long term. Foreigners are not going to give money forever
There is no doubt that Afghanistan is moving forward, and with the announcement by President Karzai of the second group of Transition areas, the Afghan National Security Forces, who have made dramatic improvements in their development and effectiveness, will assume responsibility for security for 50 per...
Your declaration ... was comprehensive and acceptable
I welcome President Karzai's announcement of the second group of areas to enter the transition process ... Transition is on schedule and NATO will continue its efforts to ensure that the Afghans take security responsibility across the country by the end of 2014, in line with President Karzai's goal. Thi...
No strategic partnership will be signed unless (it is) in line with our national interest, there won't be anything hidden
I welcome President Karzai's announcement that Nad-e Ali will be transferred to Afghan security control. This is testament to the increasing capability of the Afghan national security forces to deliver their own security in this district, which I visited myself recently, and to the incredible work of th...
All conditions and suggestions you proposed were for the national interest. The Afghan defense and interior ministers must come up with a plan so that we fund our own troops in the long term. Foreigners are not going to give money forever
As was President Karzai, I too was saddened by this event. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those families who have been affected by this incident
I am very happy that you have accepted it and have put lots of conditions on it. I accept this resolution. It is the instruction to the Afghan government from the Afghan people
