Strategic Partnership between US and Local Afghan Leaders

[Aria2013]

Recently in the Bagram district of Parwan province a Shura was held between US commanders and village leaders to discuss local security and highlight successes of the ANDSF in the area. Although the ANDSF has taken full responsibility for security throughout the country, both US officials and local Afghan leaders recognize that the insurgency is still prevalent, as recent incidents have demonstrated. As such, open communication, a strategic partnership, and building on the progress already made are elements that can move the nation’s security in the right direction.
Do you agree that a strong and strategic partnership between US commanders and local Afghan leader is important in maintaining local security and combating the insurgency?
