Hillary Clinton vows US and its allies will stand by Afghanistan
SECRETARY of State Hillary Clinton has vowed the US and its allies will stand by Afghanistan, even as fears are growing about the course of the nearly nine-year-old war.
The United States has designated Afghanistan a major non-NATO ally, giving the war-torn country special privileges as the US prepares to pull its troops out in 2014, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Saturday, cited by AFP.
