The Dutch government is planning to give Afghanistan’s police and army financial aid to help it take over of the country’s security.

Under the plan, the Netherlands will provide an annual sum of 30 million euros between 2015 and 2017. Most of the money will go to the civilian police, according to a letter the cabinet sent to parliament on Friday evening. The rest of the funds will go to the army, which, the letter states, is also involved in maintaining security.
