Remarks by President Obama and President Karzai of Afghanistan After Meeting - Presidential Palace

PRESIDENT KARZAI: Mr. President, welcome to Afghanistan on your second visit, this time as the President of the United States of America. I welcome you on behalf of the Afghan people and express the gratitude of our people for the help that America has given us in the past eight years, for the assistance given. And I hope that this process will continue into the future towards a stable, strong, peaceful Afghanistan that can sustain itself, that can move forward into the future with confidence and better hopes.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you very much. And, Mr. President, thank you for your hospitality. It is wonderful to be back in Afghanistan. And to the Afghan people, the American people send greetings and are encouraged by the progress that's been made. I commented to the President that in coming into Kabul you could see the change in terms of increased electricity production, which is just one sign I think of the progress that's continued to be made. - Remarks by President Obama and President Karzai of Afghanistan After Meeting
