国际英语新闻：Obama reaffirms U.S. commitment to Afghanistan's stability

President Obama has urged the Karzai-led government to combat corruption and take good governance in order that a transfer of responsibility could be promoted and that the United States could begin to withdraw its troops since July of 2011.

He told reporters that the two governments have deepened cooperation on training Afghan security forces so that they can begin to take the lead in security next year. "We're working with the Afghan government and our allies on a broader framework to guide the transition of responsibility for security, development and governance in Afghan provinces."

Echoing Obama's remarks, President Karzai said that through the partnership with the United States, the progress of the past years the Afghanistan people have made are "numerous and great," adding that the country will "take the right steps in bringing a better government to Afghanistan for the benefit of the Afghan people."
