KABUL: US President Barack Obama held a video call with Afghan head of state Hamid Karzai to discuss the war on the Taliban and progress in eradicating corruption, the Kabul government said Tuesday.
In the Monday "teleconference" which lasted more than an hour, Obama reaffirmed "US long-term commitment for a prosperous and stable Afghanistan," Karzai's office said in a statement.
"President Karzai briefed the US President on Afghanistan's efforts for acceleration of the peace and reconciliation process, which President Obama welcomed and declared support (for)," the statement said. "Both sides agreed on steps and measures for the follow-up on the commitments made in the London Conference in different areas including security, governance, peace and reconciliation, corruption, transparent elections and regional cooperation," it said.
