Kabul (BNA) The government of Spain has announced that military personnel of that country will leave Afghanistan in the autumn of next year.
The Minister of Defense of Spain has said that over 1,000 Spanish army men will leave Afghanistan on the specified date.
Talking to the political parties of Spain he added that though the war in Afghanistan did not have considerable gains, but it cannot called as a failure.
He has been lately seriously criticized over non-specifying of the date of withdrawal of Spanish forces from Afghanistan by the political parties of that country.
Withdrawal of the foreign forces from Afghanistan has started for the past few months and so far Franc, and Australia has taken out their military personnel from Afghanistan and it is expected that Spain and some other countries will also announce withdrawal of their force from Afghanistan.
Spain has 1600 soldiers in Afghanistan stationed in the western parts of the country.
