I think the fact that are 2 strategy which means thathe determination of the presence and the number otroops will pend on the in afghanistan here why we welcome this and is aggressively pursuing reforms, antirruption measures, peace and conciliation efforts. We believe in the fact that military is not the only solution for the afghan problem. Good governance, reforms, correction and education, regional corporations are vital steps toward achieving a lasting stility. The government of afghanistan is committed to reformsnd basin internal challens could we just signed our cmitment to implementing a contract with the United States which is a part prioritization. And a set of bchmarks and a number of thpresence of the two countries will meet regularly to ascertain whether the benchmarks are met according tohe established tilines.
