NATO to "Step Up" Afghanistan Operations
NATO members agreed at a meeting in Latvia to strengthen NATO forces in Afghanistan by removing limited rules of engagement. They also agreed to provide more aircraft, helicopters, soldiers and training for the Afghan National Army.

Additionally, NATO leaders discussed the rebuilding effort, including a call for proposals of a Contact Group and the urging of more cooperation between NATO, the UN, the EU, and the World Bank.

Lastly, the topic of potential new members, such as Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro, was covered. Leaders debated whether or not to expand out of Europe and include countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea.
