Remarks by President Hamid Karzai,
Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan
Dedication Ceremony for the Phase I Completion, Kabul - Kandahar Highway
Durrani, Afghanistan
December 16, 2003
Today is one of the best days of our lives. We are rebuilding Afghanistan, bringing back to us what we all desired -- like every other people in the civilized world. The reconstruction of Afghanistan -- the reconstruction of our highways -- is something asked of me every day, every hour by the people of Afghanistan wherever they see me.
I am very grateful today to President Bush for fulfilling -- very much on time, and with assistance of his colleagues -- the promise that he gave me a year ago; and to the government of Japan, Prime Minister Koizumi; and to Saudi Arabia.
I am grateful to all those people who worked here from USAID, to the group that worked here, to the companies, to Ambassador Khalilzad for his extreme dedication serving here in Afghanistan. I thank all those people who worked on this highway - the Afghans and non-Afghans. We pray for those who gave their lives.
We are very happy. Mr, Natsios, I thank you very much.
