KARZAI LAUDS IRAN’S CONTRIBUTIONS



Kabul, Dec 27 - Afghanistan's President Hamed Karzai in a meeting with Iran's Foreign Minister in Kabul said that the assistance rendered by Iran has helped Afghanistan to find its rightful place.

The Afghan government and nation are thankful for this help, he added.

In a meeting with visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, the Afghan President referred to the relation between Afghanistan and its neighbors.

"Afghanistan wishes further progress and development of Iran and will not let anyone drive a wedge between the two Muslem neighbors," Karzai added.

He also referred to the many shortcomings in his country due to past three decades of conflict.

"We should draw assistance from Iran's experiences to boost the development drive in Afghanistan."

He accepted an invitation from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a visit to Tehran.

Mottaki said Tehran has put expansion of relations with its neighbors on its list of foreign policy priorities.

2. Ole 43 Won't Be Happy With This.....

do you think he will pull Karzai's bodyguards? How can Karzai buddy up with Iran? Aren't the Israelies going to blow up Iran's nuclear facilities? Wasn't the U.S. supposed to get pulled into a war with Iran? Isn't Karzai *'s handpicked (former oil company employee) boy? What's the story Blanche?
