The Special US Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Olson would travel to Brussels and Belgium to continue consultations with NATO allies and other international partners.
Olson in Brussels this week will participate in a North Atlantic Council briefing for NATO Allies, partners and other donors focused on a secure future for Afghanistan, the State Department said in a statement.
He will meet with senior NATO and European Union officials to discuss continued support to the people and Government of Afghanistan ahead of the July 2016 NATO Summit in Warsaw and the October 2016 Afghanistan development conference in Brussels, it said.
From Brussels, Olson would travel to Berlin to participate in the meeting of the International Contact Group, the primary international forum for political coordination focused on bringing peace and stability to Afghanistan.
The Government of Afghanistan, group member states, and multilateral institutions will meet to discuss shared commitments to Afghan security, governance, and reconciliation efforts, the Department of State said.
