Afghanistan Designated Major US Ally During Clinton Visit to Kabul -- Voice of America
KABUL -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Kabul Saturday on a previously unannounced drop-in on her way to Tokyo for an international donor conference for Afghanistan.

Clinton's stop in Kabul follows Wednesday's formal start of the long-negotiated Strategic Partnership Agreement between the two countries.
