NATO country leaders also agreed to provide financial support for the armed forces and police in Afghanistan until 2020, but expect the country to implement reforms, Stoltenberg said.
He added that NATO “will continue to support Afghanistan but we expect [they] will continue to step up efforts to fight corruption and implement reforms.”
The NATO-led Resolute Support mission, consisting of over 12,000 troops, was launched on 1 January 2015 to provide training, advice and assistance for the Afghan security forces and institutions.
It follows on from the mission of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), completed at the end of 2014.
