NATO continues to support the Afghan peace process and as part of the peace process, we stand ready to further adjust our presence, in line with our conditions-based approach, the statement further added.

In the months ahead, we will continue to assess our presence based on conditions on the ground. NATO Defense Ministers will discuss our presence in Afghanistan at their meeting in February. Whatever path we choose, it is important that we do so together, in a coordinated and deliberate way, the statement concluded.
