The UN Secretary General and several Heads of State and Government at the International Afghanistan Conference 2010 in London

The 2010 Afghanistan Conference took place on January 28, 2010 in London . The aim of the conference was stated to review the so-called security and reconstruction mission ISAF , which has been running since 2001 , and to define concrete, verifiable mission goals. In this context, the transfer of responsibility to the Afghan army and a timetable for the withdrawal of the international armed forces should also be discussed. In order to achieve the defined goals, an increase in troops had not been ruled out in advance.

Participants were the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon , several heads of state and government of the ISAF participating countries, the President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai and regional leaders . As a final document, the conference adopted a declaration that was based on the Afghanistan Compact of 2006, but this time promised a dialogue between Afghanistan and the Taliban terrorist organization .

In the run-up to the Afghanistan conference , President Karzai expressed the wish to give the conference an “Afghan face” and to have it take place in Kabul. With reference to a too high security risk, the request was rejected by numerous Western diplomats. In July 2010, however, an international conference took place in Kabul, at which the successor to the Afghanistan Compact was adopted with the Kabul process .
