Obama pays unannounced visit to Afghanistan
KABUL, May 1 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in Afghan capital Kabul late on Tuesday for an unannounced visit to meet with his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai, reported local TV channels quoting Afghan officials.专科
During his trip which coincides with the first anniversary of the killing of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the U.S. president is expected to sign a strategic partnership agreement with Afghanistan.
The Obama visit came a week after the Afghan and U.S. governments finalized the draft of the U.S.-Afghan strategic pact.
The agreement, which would pave the way for a long-term U.S. military presence in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of the Nato- led coalition force from the war-torn country by 2014, has been welcomed by local analysts as a security stabilizing factor in Afghanistan.
Before drafting the pact, the Afghan government had previously signed two key deals with the United States which obliges U.S. military to hand over the charge of the Bagram detention center to Afghan administration and allows Afghan security forces to lead special operations including the controversial night raids.
奥巴马突访阿富汗
新华网喀布尔5月1日电(记者陈鑫)阿富汗媒体5月1日报道,美国总统奥巴马当天突访阿富汗,将与阿总统卡尔扎伊签署战略伙伴关系协议。但此消息尚未经官方证实。
据阿富汗“第一”电视台报道,一名不愿透露姓名的阿政府官员说,奥巴马将与卡尔扎伊签署战略伙伴关系协议。阿富汗TOLO电视台在报道中说,奥巴马将与卡尔扎伊举行会晤。
目前,北约驻阿国际安全援助部队、美国驻阿富汗大使馆和阿富汗总统府均未证实这一消息。
阿富汗政府与美国政府4月22日草签了战略伙伴关系协议草案。两国总统签署的协议将交双方立法机构审核,通过后再由两国总统签字生效。
此前,阿富汗政府与美国政府经过漫长的谈判解决了阻碍双方签署协议的两个主要问题,即巴格拉姆监狱管理权和夜袭问题。美阿双方分别于3月9日和4月8日签署协议,美方同意将巴格拉姆监狱管理权交给阿富汗政府,由阿富汗安全部队主导今后的夜袭行动。
现阶段,北约驻阿国际安全援助部队共有约13万名士兵,其中有约9万名美军士兵。按照奥巴马的撤军计划,2011年有1万名美军士兵从阿富汗撤军,今年9月底前还将有2.3万名美军士兵启程回国,更终目标是在2014年底前完成向阿富汗安全部队移交安全防务的工作。
