BRUSSELS, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Top military officers from members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will meet in Poland’s capital of Warsaw on Friday and Saturday to discuss NATO operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere, the military alliance said Thursday.
The chiefs of staff from the 26 NATO nations will
discuss the International Security Assistance Force operation in Afghanistan,
developments regarding the NATO Response Force and NATO's military
transformation, and preparations for the Riga NATO summit in November, it said
in a statement.
The meeting of the Military Committee, NATO's highest
military authority, will also try to shape key military work leading to the NATO
summit in Riga, the capital of Latvia, at the end of November, it said.
NATO's top commander of operations James Jones said
Thursday in Mons, Belgium, that he will seek more reinforcements from allied
nations at the Warsaw meeting for the mission in southern Afghanistan.
He said more troops, transport aircraft and
helicopters are needed as NATO has met surprisingly fierce resistance from the
Taliban since the alliance moved into the southern region of Afghanistan in
July. Enditem
