I welcome President @jokowi of Indonesia, the largest democracy and the most populated Muslim nation, to Afghanistan on behalf of a grieving but resilient nation.

Thank you President Widodo for your visit and your sympathies for the Afghan people -- who have suffered tremendously at the hands of state-sponsored terrorism.

In line with our traditions of hospitality, we have delayed the national mourning (Fatiha) for those martyred until tomorrow, to honor your visit.

We are at an infliction point in our country’s history. We must take decisive and clear steps to bring lasting stability to our country. We can no longer wait for peace to come to us, we must win it through collective national resolve.

Those who consider themselves Muslims and Afghans must now separate themselves, in words and actions, from those barbaric puppets of religious manipulators and intelligence agencies.
