Secretary of State John Kerry has announced he and Afghan President Hamid Karzai have reached an agreement on a critical security pact over the presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 2014.
The document will be presented to a meeting of tribal elders for their approval on Thursday.
According to Fox News, Kerry said that he was pleased to announce that after a series of conversations with Karzai they have reached an agreement over bilateral security agreement.
The deal is still not finalized and has to be approval by the traditional council of 3,000 prominent Afghans, known as the Loya Jirga, which is not guaranteed.
The group can revise or reject any clause of the draft agreement, and a flat-out rejection would most likely prevent the Afghan government from signing it, the report added.
