BERLIN, 26 March, 2021, (TON): Germany has up to 1,300 soldiers in Afghanistan who will stay until January 2022.

Germany's Parliament extended the presence of German troops in Afghanistan for another 10 months, media reports say. Germany has up to 1,300 soldiers in Afghanistan under NATO’s Resolute Support’s train, advice, and assist mission to Afghan forces who will stay until January 2022.

 This comes as the Biden administration is still reviewing the 2020 agreement with the Taliban and it is not yet clear whether or for how long NATO troops will stay in the country. US President Joe Biden on Thursday said it will be hard to meet the May 1 deadline for getting troops out of Afghanistan for "tactical reasons."
