  • Story Text: Germany has donated some 186 vehicles, along with
    office equipment, to the Interior Ministry of Afghanistan. The
    donation is to be used in the reconstruction of Afghanistan's
    national police force.



    The German government has donated around 36 vehicles,
    150 motorbikes and some office equipment to the Interior
    Ministry of Afghanistan.

    An agreement between the two countries was signed on
    Saturday (November 16) during a handover ceremony attended by
    Afghan Interior Minister, Taj Mohammad Wardak and Germany's
    Ambassador to Afghanistan, Rainer Eberle.

    The German government, which is already actively
    participating in peace keeping operations in Afghanistan, has
    been supporting military and civilian reconstruction of the
    war-ravaged country and has promised not to limit their
    support to the capital of Kabul alone.

    The initial donation of vehicles and equipment has been
    earmarked for use by Kabul's fledgling peacetime police force
    but Germany has promised to extend its areas of support to
    other Afghan cities.
