by Samim Kubha

Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), said at the NATO foreign ministers meeting on Wednesday that the National Unity Government (NUG) received financial and political support from the international community and in exchange must fulfill its commitments.

He also spoke about insurgency and said the security situation in Afghanistan is complicated.

"These are clear signals of the continued commitment of the international community. The security situation in Afghanistan remains difficult but the Afghan Security Forces are responding with great bravery and professionalism.

"NATO Allies and partners continue to support them politically, practically and financially. In return, Afghanistan made commitments to step up reforms and improve governance. We will review all these mutual commitments today," he said.

Although NATO announced its continued support to Afghanistan, President Barack Obama has said the U.S cannot defeat Taliban in Afghanistan and that violence will continue to exist in the country.
