According to the LA Times, during the huge festivities to welcome General Petraeus to Kabul,

Karzai, whose relationship with the Obama administration has been strained amid fresh allegations of corruption in his government, was not present for Saturday's festivities, although the presidential palace said he was in the capital. He sent his foreign minister, Zalmay Rasul, to represent him.
