On Tuesday, May 11th, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opened key talks with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai at the White House. While the two nations have had recent disputes, Clinton emphasized that the United States is committed to helping Afghanistan and that they will continue to support Afghanistan long after U.S. combat troops have withdrawn from the region. This is certainly positive news for Afghan-American leaders like Hamed Wardak and the many others who have been pressing for improved relations between the two nations.
President Obama is expected to meet with President Karzai today, Wednesday, May 12th, to continue the talks.
