The West has been able to bring Afghanistan a much better health service, better education, better roads, a better economy, though some have benefited more; some have benefited less from that economic well-being in Afghanistan.

I don't think the Taliban will ever come back to take Afghanistan, no.

Afghanistan will be a brother of Pakistan. Afghanistan will never betray a brother

No foreigner has a place asking another people, another country, to change their constitution.

Afghanistan will, by the grace of God, stand on its own feet in three to four years time. Until then, of course, we need strong support from the international community, including the United States, to stay with us and support us fully.

If it is terrorism, if it is war on terror, then the Afghan people will join you on terror.

We are not America. We are Afghanistan.
