EU aid to Afghanistan to promote security

IRNA

Brussels, Sept 22, IRNA -- At the Afghanistan donors meeting in Dubai 
on Sunday, the European Commission announced its intention to make a 
further 50 million euro available, in particular, to promote security 
in Afghanistan. 
Security is the single biggest challenge facing Afghanistan 
today, and the current difficulties impact on both physical 
and political reconstruction, said a Commission statement issued 
in Brussels Monday. 
The Commission will propose a package of 50 million euro 
to support the Afghan police. 
The 50 euro million package is proposed in addition to the 400 
million euro already committed by the Commission to Afghanistan`s 
reconstruction in 2003-04. 
The donors meeting was held in the margins of the IMF/WB annual 
meetings in Dubai, and was chaired by the Afghan Transitional 
Authority.
