Washington, Rajab 22, 1434, Jun 1, 2013, SPA - U.S. President Barack Obama said Friday that he and NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen have agreed to focus the organization’s 2014 summit on Afghanistan. Most of the international troops in Afghanistan are scheduled to leave by the end of next year. But while Obama and Rasmussen have agreed on a focus for the gathering, where it will take place is not decided. The president said that the secretary-general is looking for a country to host it. Chicago was the host city for NATO’s 2012 summit. Obama told reporters that Afghanistan was at the top of the list of items he and Rasmussen discussed in their Oval Office Meeting. --SPA 11:05 LOCAL TIME 08:05 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1115892
