Summary
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says that Afghan President Hamid Karzai can lead Afghan people but he will have to bring major changes to restore his trust. British Prime Minister said, Once a decision is made about the second round elections, President Karzai or whoever is president, will want to unify the country. And they will have to have a manifesto that is capable of that unity. That means tackling corruption, getting the best people into government and not just getting friends or cronies, at the same time it means building up the local government - because local government is most important to most of the Afghan people and bringing in those elements who have been against the government but who might now be prepared to work with it. Brown maintained that Karzai should work for economic progress to benefit Afghan people from the fruits of development.
