Speaking in New York City, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani outlined his government’s approach to Afghanistan’s varied problems.
Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai may have been the ally the United States didn’t want but needed. But the country’s current president, Ashraf Ghani, has so far proved to be the ideal partner.
In just one of many stops on his whirlwind U.S. visit this month, Ghani addressed a packed room on March 26 at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. In an hour-long discussion with Robert E. Rubin, the council’s co-chairman and former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Ghani — who was elected to the presidency in September 2014 — outlined the challenges his administration faces, his plans to rework Afghanistan’s free-falling economy, and the partners he intends to court along the way.
