7. SOUNDBITE (Dari, with English interpreter) Mohammad Zaher Shah, former Afghan King:
"I believe that the presence of these peacekeeping soldiers is actually necessary. I believe that the sentiments of our people will be based on practical intelligent motivations and you must know that here, in this country, Afghanistan, American citizens, American soldiers are regarded with interest and with consideration. I repeat that we recognise the American nation as a friendly nation towards our country and of course when the time comes for the United States personnel to leave it will be happily and our population will bid them farewell."

STORYLINE:
Former Afghan king Mohammad Zaher Shah reflected on Monday on the suffering of the people of Kabul since he went into exile in Italy  29 years ago.
In an interview with Associated Press Television News, Shah said that he is confident in the reconstruction of Afghanistan after the tribal council, or Loya Jirga, institutes a new permanent government.
The new government will replace Interim President Hamid Karzai's temporary administration.
The former king stressed his gratitude to the American troops for their peacekeeping efforts in Afghanistan.
Tribal leaders have been visiting the former king in his palace in Kabul almost daily since his return last month.
The audiences have allowed disparate Afghan tribes to raise the particular interests of their people as well as to pay their respects to the former monarch.
