US secretary of state John Kerry on Monday arrived to Afghanistan on an un-announced visit for talks with president Hamid Karzai.
A US official travelling with secretary of state John Kerry said he will discuss a host of issues with the Afghan president Hamid Karzai during his visit to Afghanistan.
The official further added that the agenda of the meeting will include Afghan reconciliation, the transfer of security responsibility to Afghan forces as most foreign troops prepare to leave and Afghanistan?s elections.
Kerry?s visit to Afghanistan comes amid tensions between Kabul and Washington after Karzai has infuriated U.S. officials by accusing Washington of colluding with Taliban insurgents to keep Afghanistan weak even as the Obama administration presses ahead with plans to hand off security responsibility to Afghan forces and end NATO?s combat mission by the end of next year.
