KABUL, 25 June 2021, (TON): President Andrzej Duda said “Poland will withdraw its troops from Afghanistan at the end of June, bringing its two-decade presence in the country to an end.”
NATO allies agreed in April that foreign troops under NATO command will withdraw from Afghanistan in coordination with a US pull-out by Sep 11.
Duda wrote on Twitter “At the end of June, after 20 years, we are ending our military involvement in the largest NATO operation in history.”
After withdrawing, the United States and NATO aim to rely on Afghan military and police forces, which they have developed with billions of dollars in funding, to maintain security.
