international Afghanistan 3 Bonn 05 dec 2011

Ten years ago, a similar major Afghan conference was held in the same city, which reshaped the Afghan political framework after the western military forces toppled Taliban regime and Hamid Karzai became the transitional leader of the country and then win the election of president.

Ten years later, the world's focus returned to Afghanistan, a central Asian country that experienced year-lasting wars and terror attacks, while obtaining billions of dollars of international contributions but earning fragile achievement in public security, social welfare and national reconciliation.

The 2011 Bonn conference, hosted by Germany and chaired by Karzai, is aimed at "mobilizing the international community in support of Afghanistan, and that beyond 2014", when international combat troops are due to leave Afghanistan, German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle said before the meeting.
