卡爾扎伊敦促支持美阿安全協議

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has urged a gathering of Afghan elders to approve a security agreement with the United States, saying the deal would allow 10,000 to 15,000 foreign troops to remain in Afghanistan after the NATO pullout next year.

A draft text of the agreement posted online by the Afghan government said U.S. troops would only enter Afghan homes in exceptional cases -- a point of contention in nearly a year of negotiations on the agreement.

Hours before the meeting, Secretary of State John Kerry announced the two sides had agreed on the final text of the bilateral security pact.阿富汗總統卡爾扎伊敦促阿富汗長老會議批准與美國的安全協定。他說，協定將允許1萬到1萬5千名外國軍隊在北約明年撤軍之後繼續留在阿富汗。

阿富汗政府在網上公佈的安全協定的草案說，美國軍隊只有在特殊情況下才會進入阿富汗人的住宅。這一點在美阿舉行了近一年的談判中引起爭論。

美國國務卿克里在會議開幕前幾個小時宣佈，美國和阿富汗已就雙邊安全協定的最後文本達成一致。
