In a statement shared Monday on social media, Karzai said he met with Ambassador Takayoshi Kuromiya and thanked Japan for its continued support to Afghanistan, particularly in the health and education sectors.
Karzai described Japan as a “historic friend” of Afghanistan and praised its longstanding contributions to the country’s development.
The former president, who has occasionally criticised Taliban policies in indirect terms, again underscored the importance of inclusive governance, girls’ education, and unity among all ethnic groups.
