Members Of The International Community Meet For The Afghanistan Conference
LONDON - JANUARY 28: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (L) talks with Australia's Foreign Minister Stephen Smith during the opening session of the Afghanistan Conference on January 28, 2010 in London, England. Foreign ministers from over 70 countries are attending the conference, co-hosted by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Talks aim to tackle key issues on the future of Afghanistan and the gradual withdrawal of international troops from the country, drafting plans to hand over security responsibilities to local forces and quell the insurgency with offers of jobs and housing to lure Taliban fighters to renounce violence.
