GERMAN Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer expressed the belief on Wednesday that members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) would agree to synchronize troop withdrawal from Afghanistan with Washington.
On Tuesday, the U.S. presidential administration announced that the United States would complete the troop withdrawal by Sept. 11.
The date will mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, after which the administration of ex-U.S. leader George Bush started its operation against al-Qaeda terrorist organization (banned in Russia).
“We have always said: we will deploy (troops) together and we will withdraw them together as well.
“I am a supporter of a coordinated troop pullout and I expect that we (NATO) will reach agreement on this today.
“This means we will synchronise our plans with the U.S.,” Kramp-Karrenbauer told ARD broadcaster. (Sputnik/NAN)
