The operation in Afghanistan is one of the most important NATO operations. The operation in Afghanistan was the first in the history of the Alliance to take place outside the traditional zone of NATO responsibility, namely the Euro-Atlantic space. The international coalition of states holds the UN Security Council mandate which was granted under the UN Security Council’s Resolution No. 1890. The ISAF provides assistance for the Afghanistan’s government, the newly established army and the police in order to ensure security in the country. The ISAF operation began in December 2001. The ISAF operation in Afghanistan was initiated by the U.S., but on 11 August 2003, NATO took over the strategic command of the operation. ISAF is composed of 102,550 troops from 42 countries (28 NATO Member Countries and 18 other countries). 26 Provincial Reconstruction Teams are also operational. The Latvian National Armed Forces (NAF) have participated in the ISAF mission since February 2003. To date there are 175 Latvian military personnel serving in the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. On 7 November, 2008, the Operational Mentoring and Liaison Team was sent to the provinces of Kunar and Nurestan in Eastern Afghanistan. This group’s task is to train the soldiers of the Afghan National Army and to participate with them in the ISAF operations. In support of a comprehensive approach to Afghanistan’s reconstruction, a Political and Development Advisor of the Foreign Ministry of Latvia was staying in Faryab Province from 21 August 2007 to 25 March 2009 and was co-ordinating the Latvian government’s development projects. Latvia has provided significant support for the development of the rule of law in Faryab Province and of its infrastructure. During the period of 2008-2009, Latvia contributed with LVL 569,367 towards the implementation of development co-operation projects. Some of the most successful projects that have been carried out are as follows: the water collection and supply project launched in May 2008, thus providing around 4800 inhabitants with drinking water; a newly opened police station in February 2009; the project of building three court houses and the training of judges and prosecutors in summer 2009. The Saeima has extended the participation of the Latvian troops in NATO-led operations in Afghanistan until 13 October 2010. You will receive the item as shown in the first photo.
