The NATO Conference was held in November 2010 in Lisbon and chaired by the NATO Secretary-General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Thiswas the third major international conference of 2010 for Afghanistan. NATO’s mission in Afghanistan was the main topic of discussion.
At Lisbon, 28 heads of states of NATO elaborated the policy statement related to special training (to be started in the beginning of 2011) for capacity building of Afghan security forces to make them able to assume the security responsibilities for Afghanistan by the end of 2014. The assumption of responsibility by Afghans will help pave the way for withdrawal of NATO and its allies from Afghanistan.
Other agreements included the allies’ agreement with Russia to jointly expand support for Afghanistan, including by broadening transit arrangements, extending training of counter narcotics officials and providing equipment to Afghan security forces.
