Turkey on Wednesday said it would offer 10 million U.S. dollars to rebuild Afghanistan's only military high school in the capital city Kabul.
Chief of Logistic Staff of Turkish Army Mehmet Erten made this announcement at a ceremony held here for the laying down of the foundation of the school.
The Turkish dignitary said the 10 million dollar project would cover the restoration and reconstruction of the buildings and facilities as well as meeting all requirements of the school and cadets including clothing and equipment.
Flanked by Afghan Chief of Army Staff Bismillah Mohammadi, Erten told reporters at the function that the new military institution will have modern facilities including kitchen, dining hall, dormitory and language laboratory.
Around 760 Turkish troops are serving in Afghanistan within the framework of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Turkey has also contributed more some 100 million U.S. dollars over the past six years for the reconstruction in the post-Taliban nation.
