Finland continues comprehensive support of Afghanistan
In the Brussels Conference on Afghanistan on 5 October 2016, co-hosted by the EU and Afghanistan, the international community undertook to aid Afghanistan's development in 2017–2020. Finland's pledge in the four years will be approximately EUR 110 million. The majority of the support will be channelled via the World Bank and UN agencies to three central sectors: law and security, development of basic services, and development of the economic infrastructure.
