On Friday, Mr Rasmuseen met with the Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer, whose government has already approved an increase of Czech troops in the war-ridden country. But the decision has yet to be sanctioned by the Czech Parliament, and NATO’s Secretary General is later scheduled to meet with party leaders to try to win their support for the plan. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/rasmussen_fischer1.jpg?timestamp=1591304335 NATO chief Rasmussen hopes to see more Czech troops in Afghanistan https://english.radio.cz/nato-chief-rasmussen-hopes-see-more-czech-troops-afghanistan-8575951 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
