    Stoltenberg: The situation in Afghanistan requires a negotiated settlement

Today, Tuesday, NATO Secretary-General Jen Stoltenberg stressed the need for reaching a settlement in Afghanistan, stressing that the situation "requires a negotiated settlement". In addition, he said that Afghanistan is facing a "deeply challenging security situation," aggravated by the withdrawal of the foreign forces from the country.

Following a conversation with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, Stoltenberg said, "NATO will continue to support Afghanistan, including with funding; civilian presence; and out-of-country training."

It is worth noting that after US President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, 10,000 NATO soldiers have left the country so far.

Violence in Afghanistan has intensified since late May, after the "Taliban" Movement launched a full-scale attack only days after US forces, under the NATO leadership, began their withdrawal from the country, which is expected to end soon.
