Nato secretary-general talks to Al Jazeera

Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, has outlined a timetable for Nato forces to leave his country.

As their armies withdraw, those same foreign powers are pledging to support the re-building of a shattered nation.

The announcements have been made at a major international conference in Kabul, the Afghan capital, where Al Jazeera's James Bays spoke with Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Nato secretary general, who said the organisation's goal is to hand over responsibility to Afghans when conditions permit and shares Karzai's ambition that the country should take over security by the end of 2014.
