UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Afghanistan’s U.N. envoy warned Monday that recent debate has strained the country’s dealings with the international community, apparently referring to widespread international criticism of its corruption-riddled presidential election.

Ambassador Zahir Tanin called for a new international compact that respects the concerns of Afghans.

He told the U.N. General Assembly that Afghanistan can’t take control of its destiny without international support, but he said this support must be based on a partnership.

"We will achieve nothing without the consistent political, military and financial support of the international community," he said. "Most importantly, we will achieve nothing without mutual understanding built on trust and cooperation."

"Recent public debate about Afghanistan has strained this understanding," Tanin said.

Tanin spoke shortly before the 192-member world body adopted a nonbinding resolution by consensus reaffirming the international community’s commitment to continue supporting Afghan efforts to restore peace and security and rebuild the country in the face of "increased violent and terrorist activity by the Taliban, al-Qaida and other extremist and criminal groups."

The resolution calls on the new Afghan government "to build a renewed relationship of trust with its citizens by achieving concrete and visible results..."
