Gen. Miller said the presence of the Daesh militants in Afghanistan is not a &lsquo;propaganda and invented&rsquo;, but it is a serious threat, which needs to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed the so-called ISIS has a resilient presence in some provinces of Afghanistan such as Kunar and Nengarhar. He added the NATO&rsquo;s role in Afghanistan remains to train, advise and assist the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces who are combating the Daesh militants.<\/p>\n<p>Gen. Miller stressed nobody has safe access to the areas the Daesh militants are controlling so it is difficult to know the exact number of their fighters.<\/p>\n<p>NATO Defence Ministers wrapped up two days of discussions in Brussels on Thursday (27 June 2019). Ministers addressed Russia&rsquo;s violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, progress on burden sharing, NATO&rsquo;s defence and deterrence posture, new technologies and NATO&rsquo;s mission in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MONITORING (SW) \u2013 Gen.
