As The President Of Afghanistan I Look

I Hope (the United States) Will Change And They Will Now Focus Entirely On Helping And Building A Stronger, Better Afghanistan.

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.

This Flag .. Is Raised Not Without Costs, .. Without The Costs Of Having Struggled For Many Years, Without The Costs Of Having Lost So Many Lives In Order To Have A Free And Sovereign And Good Afghanistan.

Afghanistan Is A Country In Need. Afghanistan Needs To Protect Itself In The Region; Afghanistan Needs To Secure Itself Within The Country. Afghanistan Needs To Develop Its Forces, And Afghanistan Needs To Provide Stability To The People.

Afghanistan Has Moved Forward And Afghanistan Will Defend Itself. And The Progress That We Have Achieved, The Afghan People Will Not Allow It To Be Put Back Or Reversed.
