Ahmadinejad slams US hostile policies on Afghanistan
Iran's President has lambasted US policies on Afghanistan as the source of all troubles in the war-torn country, insisting that the US should change its hostile policies towards nations.
“Incorrect policies of NATO forces and above all those of the United States are the main cause of crises in Afghanistan and similar countries,” said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an address to the fifth Regional Economic Cooperation Conference on Afghanistan (RECCA-V) in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, on Monday Press TV reported.

“NATO member states, particularly the US, should change their hostile policies towards nations and avoid humiliating them by respecting them,” he added.

The Iranian chief executive added that NATO states are prolonging their presence in the region under the pretext of fight against terrorism, emphasizing that their real goal is to encircle the whole strategic region.

President Ahmadinejad stated that the NATO interference has spread insecurity in Afghanistan, Pakistan and the entire region.

He called for the swift withdrawal of the US-led NATO forces from Afghanistan and expressed confidence that it would eradicate narcotics and terrorism in the war-torn country.

“The world needs a new order based on which rights of nations will be observed,” Ahmadinejad pointed out.

The two-day gathering is being attended by presidents of Afghanistan's neighboring countries as well as 40 foreign ministers and representatives of 33 international bodies.

A US delegation, also present at the meeting, walked out of the conference hall as Ahmadinejad made his speech.
