Afghanistan donors conference postponed
41 minutes ago

LONDON (AFP) - An Afghanistan donors conference, planned for London on Tuesday, has been postponed, the British government said.

"The conference had been put off at the request of the Afghan ministry of finance," a spokesperson for the organisers, Britain's Department for International Development, told AFP.

"It should take place at the end of this year or at the beginning of next year," the spokesperson added.

The Afghan government wanted to run a bigger part of the international aid itself.

The donors, comprising various countries, the United Nations and international financial institutions, thought the Afghan government was not offering the necessary guarantees concerning the fight against corruption, over three years after the fall of the Taliban.
