The new Nato Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg, has arrived in Afghanistan for his first trip to the country since taking office last month.

About 12,500 soldiers, mostly American, will remain to continue training.
“The secretary general will meet with President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah to discuss Nato-Afghanistan cooperation,” Nato said in a statement.
