At Munich Security Conference, President
Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai emphasised on a need to dissolve all private security firms and said provincial reconstruction teams should end their missions in Afghanistan.
President Karzai described provincial reconstruction teams as immense challenge facing the Afghan government, the New York Times reported.
According to New York Times Karzai has come up with the decision because donor countries directly support PRTs.
Admiral James Stavridis, Nato's Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, opposed Karzai's claim and said the teams pose no problems to the Afghan government.
Western countries have been doubtful about Karzai's potential to fight corruption in his government system, the New York Times said.
President Karzai's decision on PRTs is seen as clearly indicating that the presence of international community hugely threatens his authorities.
