U.S., Afghanistan start talking to reach security pact

Washington is committed, however, to supporting Afghanistan’s social and economic development, security institutions and regional cooperation through 2024. In turn, Afghanistan promised to strengthen government accountability, transparency and oversight and to protect the human rights of all Afghans, both men and women.

Afghanistan and the United States have tried to defuse regional concerns about the agreement. Afghanistan’s neighbor, Iran, is opposed to any such agreement.
