GALLUZZO: “Italy in Afghanistan after 2014″ (Il Corriere della Sera, IT)
391 days ago by Antonella MasiM. Galluzzo writes today about the future of the Italian commitment in Afghanistan.
The Secretary General of NATO, Danish Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has been busy in meetings with key allies during last weeks. The goal is to obtain guarantees about what will happen after 2014, and yesterday Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti ensured that the Italian presence in the area will not end after 2014. In particular, the commitment will be to provide financial resources (to help with the rebuilding of the country) and human capital (to train the Afghan army).
Monti stressed anyway that the exact date of the withdrawal is part of the important issues which, rightly, should be considered and discussed together with other allies and taht “the specific commitment will be quantified at the appropriate time”.
