DUBAI — US State Secretary Hillary Clinton said on Sunday that her country has no interest in "occupying" Afghanistan or abandoning the war-torn country.

"The United States has no interest in occupying Afghanistan. We also have no intention of abandoning Afghanistan," she told the US-Islamic World forum in Doha.

"When international forces leave Afghanistan, our civilian presence will continue, so that we can foster a long-term partnership between Afghanistan, the United States, and other nations, that is based on shared responsibility for our common security," she added.
