(VOVworld) – A NATO operation, dubbed “Resolute support”, involving 12,000 personnel, has been approved to continue training, consulting, and supporting Afghanistan’s security forces over the next 2 years. The operation, proposed by US President Barack Obama, will include 10,000 US soldiers. Out-going Afghan President Harmid Karzai said he will let his successor decide whether or not to sign a bilateral security agreement with the US, which will allow a separate deal between Afghanistan and NATO.
