-- Additional forces will include a battalion from Spain, 600 soldiers from Germany, 600 from Poland and hundreds more from Britain. Italy said it would send more than 200 military trainers, 100 paramilitary police trainers, three medical evacuation helicopters and two military transport planes.

-- Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Portugal, Turkey and Slovakia pledged to send military trainers, as did Belgium, which will also send two more F-16 fighter aircraft.

-- Leaders agreed to establish a NATO Training Mission to oversee training for the Afghan army and police and pledged to provide more trainers. They pledged to expand a trust fund for the army to cover running costs and to encourage international contributions to the fund.

-- Leaders also pledged to build closer political and practical ties with Pakistan.
