''The process of transition to Afghan lead is on track. This is a unique opportunity for us to master our own destiny,'' said Maj. Gen. Asadullah Akramyar, Deputy Assistant Minister for Policy and Strategy of the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs when he visited NATO Headquarters in Brussels on 2 December.
Maj. Gen. Akramyar was one of a group of 10 Afghan senior military officers who visited NATO just a few days after President Karzai announced Tranche 2 of the areas to be transitioned to Afghan security responsibility. The visit was organised by NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division.
Before visiting NATO HQ, the Afghan delegation participated in a one-week workshop on strategic defence planning at Allied Command Operations in Mons, Belgium. The workshop was part of a series of activities to support professional military education in Afghanistan in the context of the NATO-Afghanistan Enduring Partnership signed at the 2010 NATO Summit in Lisbon.
"The transition process falls within a realistic time frame,” said Ambassador Kolinda Grabar- Kitarović, NATO’s Assistant Secretary General for Public Diplomacy. “However, make no mistake: end of 2014 will be the end of the transition process. It will not be the end of NATO's overall commitment to Afghanistan," she added.
On 5 December, representatives from some 86 countries and 15 organisations met in Bonn, Germany, to discuss Afghanistan. "We confirm NATO's commitment to its Enduring Partnership with Afghanistan throughout transition and beyond, as part of the wider International Community's effort," said NATO Deputy Secretary General Ambassador Bisogniero.
