French President Nicolas Sarkozy said France had told the US of it plans and will present it at a February 2 meeting of Nato Defence Ministers in Brussels.
"We have decided in a common accord with President Karzai to ask Nato to consider a total handing of Nato combat missions to the Afghan army over the course of 2013," Mr Sarkozy said.
France has around 4,000 troops in Afghanistan; it lost 82 soldiers during the war.
