卡尔扎伊敦促支持美阿安全协议

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.阿富汗总统卡尔扎伊敦促阿富汗长老会议批准与美国的安全协定。他说，协定将允许1万到1万5千名外国军队在北约明年撤军之后继续留在阿富汗。

阿富汗政府在网上公布的安全协定的草案说，美国军队只有在特殊情况下才会进入阿富汗人的住宅。这一点在美阿举行了近一年的谈判中引起争论。

美国国务卿克里在会议开幕前几个小时宣布，美国和阿富汗已就双边安全协定的最后文本达成一致。
