Gates: Afghanistan
"patience"Nov 20, 2009 - In opening remarks Friday at the first Halifax International Security Forum, U.S. Secretary ofDefense Robert Gates called for “patience” on dealing with Afghanistan.
The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF), in cooperation with the Government of Canada, has launched the Halifax International Security Forum in Halifax, Nova Scotia to address the top global security challenges facing the transatlantic community. This major international conference is the first of its kind on the North American continent.
Serious conferences about regional and global security have traditionally taken place outside of the United States and Canada. However, no country and no continent are immune to the world’s new dangers. GMF’s mission to promote cooperation between North America and Europe on a wide range of concerns led to the creation of a major international security conference in Canada. By bringing together leading policy and opinion makers from around the world, Halifax Forum will help shape a new transatlantic security agenda that can adapt to changing global realities and emerging threats.
