The new US ambassador to Afghanistan has said the Americans have been in the war-torn country to help the Afghans build their future.

AVA- John R. Bass expressed these views during a meeting with the Afghan envoy in Washington, Hamdullah Mohib.

Mohib said the new US ambassador was interested to work in different fields in Afghanistan.

Mohib talked with Bass on strengthening relations between the two countries.

“I assured the new US ambassador for Afghanistan the national unity government’s cooperation with him and Afghans’ support and hospitality,” he said.

Bass would start his job in Kabul in near future. Few days back, US’s Special Chargé d'Affaires Ambassador Hugo Llorens left Kabul after farewell meetings with Afghan officials.
