The United States established diplomatic ties with Afghanistan in 1935. Afghanistan remains an important partner of the United States in the fight against terrorism, working with us to eliminate al-Qa’ida, ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K), and their affiliates in Afghanistan. In order to strengthen Afghanistan’s capabilities as a partner, and to improve the lives of the Afghan people, we continue to invest U.S. resources to help Afghanistan improve its security, governance, institutions, and economy. Our strong bilateral partnership is guided by the Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the United States signed in May 2012, which outlines respective economic and political commitments, as well as by the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) signed in September 2014, which outlines mutual security understandings. In July 2012, following the entry into force of the SPA, the United States designated Afghanistan a Major Non-NATO Ally. The South Asia Strategy announced in August 2017 outlined conditions for a political process between the Taliban and the Afghan government that could lead to a peace settlement to end the conflict in Afghanistan. The Strategy for Central Asia, announced in February 2020, envisioned expanding and maintaining support for stability in Afghanistan, as well as strengthening connectivity between Central Asia and Afghanistan.

Egyptian literature was not only used for entertainment in story form, but it was used for many other things such as coffin texts, instructions, and discourses. More Egyptians were able to write and read with the establishment of the first school during the 12th dynasty.

<u>Explanation:</u>
The first constitution of the United States was the Articles of Confederation, which lasted from 1776 to 1789. The Articles was a bundle of mistakes and drived weak central government by loading most of the powers in the states' control.
The Constitution was a loose “league of friendship” or can be understood as a phenomenon of transitioning of childhood stage to adulthood stage of a human where mistakes become part of the system. The states under this constitution were linked with each other only for national defense.
