Kabul, Sept 23 (IBNS): Outgoing Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Tuesday blamed the United States and Pakistan for his country's long war situation.

According to Karzai, the stability in his country depended on both these countries.

Speaking at a farewell reception, Karzai blamed both countries for the continuing war with the Taliban-led insurgency.

He also warned the new government to be extra cautious in relations with the US and the West.

He alleged that the war situation in Afghanistan was aimed to promote the interests of foreigners, while the Afghans paid a heavy cost.

"We tried a lot to restore stability, but America doesn’t want peace and has its own interests here. Pakistan has been sticking to a two-pronged approach: Recognition of the Durand Line as an international border and influence on Afghanistan’s foreign policy. But I have firmly refused to toe that line," Karzai was quoted as saying by Pajhwok Afghan News.
