Afghan President Hamid Karzai has refused to meet with US President Barack Obama unexpectedly flown into the country on a military base in Bagram, reports BBC BBC. Obama from the outset was going to go to the palace of Karzai, citing reluctance to interfere in local political processes in the run-up to the second round of the presidential elections scheduled for June. Karzai are not involved. Instead, the US Embassy invited the President to the base at Bagram. From the administration of Afghan leader came refusal.
Washington hopes that the new president will sign a bilateral security agreement, which Karzai has not signed. This agreement is necessary to the United States to maintain its military presence in Afghanistan after the withdrawal, planned for later this year.
