New Zealand extends Afghan troop deployment

WELLINGTON -- New Zealand has extended the duration of its troop deployment in Afghanistan for two years until September 2009, Prime Minister Helen Clark said on Monday. The tour of duty for the 120-member provincial reconstruction team in Bamiyan province, had been due to end in September this year.

“A peaceful Afghanistan, able to provide for its people and prevent itself being used as a terrorist base, is in the interests of the international community,” Clark said in a statement. She said New Zealand’s reconstruction team was making a difference and was welcomed by the Afghan government.
