KABUL is in the interest of overall regional security, says the Russian president.
"Initially, we backed the US forces’ presence in Afghanistan and earlier voted in favour of a UN Security Council resolution,” Vladimir Putin said in an interview on Sunday.
He told Rossiya-1 TV channel: “I still believe the US presence in Afghanistan does not run counter to our external interests."
American plans for withdrawal from Afghanistan might be helpful for reconciliation in that . . .
