NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in an interview with TOLOnews said that in return to NATO’s assistance and support to Afghanistan, the organization asks the Afghan government to fight corruption, bring reforms and build reliable security institutions. 

Stoltenberg said the continuation of NATO’s support to Afghanistan requires a number of conditions.

In a video message on Saturday, President Ashraf Ghani called on all militant groups to quit violence during the Holy month of Ramadan.

“On behalf of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, I urge all militant groups to accept the call of Afghan people on peace or at least avoid killing, conflict and violence during the Holy month of Ramadan in order to respect this sacred month,” Ghani said in the video message.
