Polish president says to urge timely end of ISAF mission in Afghanistan

15 March 2012 22:02 (UTC +04:00)

Baku-APA. Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski said on Thursday his country will urge timely conclusion of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission in Afghanistan in 2014, as agreed in Lisbon in November, 2010, APA reports quoting Xinhua.

Komorowski made the remarks following a meeting of the Polish National Security Council on Thursday to discuss the NATO summit in Chicago in May and Afghanistan strategy.

"We have also decided that Poland will have its own strategy of ending the mission and pulling out of Afghanistan, just in case some other parties propose to extend (NATO’s) military presence in Afghanistan beyond the agreed date," said the president who visited Kabul last week and will head the Polish delegation to the NATO summit in Chicago.

Polish Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak’s visit to Uzbekistan on Friday will help prepare such a strategy.

The visit may result in bilateral agreements that will supplement the agreements between NATO and countries in the region, Komorowski explained.

Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski will submit a government plan of assistance to Afghanistan after 2014, Komorowski also said. The plan will outline civilian assistance in reforming the country.

The Polish military contingent in Afghanistan numbers 2,500 soldiers plus 200 more in reserve in Poland and has been reduced by 100 plus 100 since last autumn.

The Polish National Security Council, a constitutional body advising the president on the state’s internal and external security, is composed of top government and parliament officials as well as of heads of leading political parties.
