Afghanistan will, by the grace of God, stand on its own feet in three to four years time. Until then, of course, we need strong support from the international community, including the United States, to stay with us and support us fully.
I hope (the United States) will change and they will now focus entirely on helping and building a stronger, better Afghanistan.
I am saddened that the lives of many Afghan people, mainly soldiers serving the Afghan nation, were lost, ... I condemn the attack in the strongest terms.
