And ISIS could rebuild in Afghanistan the terror caliphate it lost in Syria and Iraq,” Stoltenberg said in a statement. “NATO Allies support the peace process in Afghanistan. As part of this process, we have already significantly adjusted our presence,” he added.

“We went into Afghanistan together. And when the time is right, we should leave together in a coordinated and orderly way. I count on all NATO allies to live up to this commitment, for our own security,” Stoltenberg said.
