              Afghan President Meets Iranian Counterpart in Tehran

   Afghanistan`s President Hamid Karzai Sunday met Iranian President
   Hassan Rouhani in Tehran Sunday, as his disagreement continued with the
   United States over a security agreement that would determine the future
   of US troops in Afghanistan beyond 2014.
   The meeting between the two presidents came shortly after US Secretary
   of Defense Chuck Hagel arrvied in Kabul. Hagel said he was told by the
   Afghan Defense Minister that a security pact would be signed in a
   "timely manner" despite Mr. Karzai`s reluctance.
   The Iranian government has said it supports Mr. Karzai`s position and
   has urged Afghanistan not to sign the proposed agreement.
