According to Obama, during the White House meeting, he convinced Karzai that Washington supports the efforts the Afghan government has made on combating corruption, taking good governance, and negotiating with the Taliban.

"The United States supports the efforts of the Afghan government to open the door to Taliban who cut their ties to al- Qaida, abandon violence, and accept the Afghan constitution, including respect for human rights," said the president.

President Karzai, who is paying a four-day visit to the United States, has met with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and other senior U.S. officials, as well as top military officers in Washington.

After months of review, the Obama administration renewed its strategy for Afghanistan last December by sending 30,000 additional troops to the country in a decisive war against al- Qaida network and extremists.

The U.S. army forces stationed in Afghanistan would surge to about 100,000 troops.
