SINGAPORE : Singapore has welcomed the United States' continued commitment in Afghanistan, as outlined by President Barack Obama.
Singapore's Foreign Ministry said this is a positive and pragmatic way forward.
It said Singapore continues to support the multinational stabilisation and reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan.
An SAF Weapon Locating Radar and a medical team are now in Oruzgan province, with an engineering team in Bamiyan province in support of these efforts.
The ministry said Singapore has also offered to deploy a KC-135 aerial refuelling tanker and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle detachment if these are useful to the multinational efforts.
Singapore has also been offering a variety of training programmes for Afghan officials, including healthcare, anti-narcotics control, and water and waste management. - CNA/ms
