Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
Seven years after the fall of the Taliban, Afghanistan has seen
an increase in security incidents that have killed soldiers and
civilians. While large parts of the country remain safe and
democratization and development continue moving forward, the rise
in violence requires new approaches involving Afghan institutions,
regional partners and the international community. Minister
of Defense General Abdul Rahim Wardak will discuss the progress
Afghanistan has made and the challenges that remain.
