NATO Afghan partnership

Partnership between the Afghan and NATO forces after involvement of NATO for the past many years in training and operational support of the Afghan Army is now welcome. This would set the stage for long term capacity building between the two entities and substantially enhance the potential of the Afghan Army and the Air Force in the days ahead. This will also attain the larger NATO objective of stabilizing the region and handing over a stable area to the Afghan Army thereby enabling it to continue with a good security foot print across the board, therefore this is an important facet of the relationship which has to be developed over the years and the opening with the visit of Maj Gen Ali is the first step in this direction.
