Kabul: After the United States announced that all U.S. forces would leave Afghanistan completely by September 11, members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have now agreed to withdraw their armed forces from here on Wednesday. According to a statement made by the foreign and defence ministers of the NATO at a virtual meeting, the US had attacked Afghanistan after the 9/11 incident, Xinhua reported.

At the same time, other NATO member states had also deployed their military forces to confront those who attacked the terror group Al Qaeda and the United States and prevent them from attacking Afghanistan as a safe stronghold for themselves. The statement further said that knowing that there is no military solution to the challenges facing Afghanistan, the process of withdrawal of their troops will be initiated by the members of the NATO from May 1 and the work will be completed after a few months.

Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin that if there is any Taliban attack on allied forces during the withdrawal, a strong response will be given.
