The one-year deployment was estimated by the German government to cost 427.5 million euros, according to dpa news agency.

The withdrawal of international troops from Afghanistan is part of the February 2020 peace deal between the United States and the Taliban in Doha.
The number of US troops in Afghanistan has reached 2,500 and based on the US-Taliban agreement, they shall leave the country by May 1; however, the Biden administration officials have said that they are reviewing the agreement. US senators have said that American troops will not leave the country based on the given deadline in the Doha deal.

should make a partnership possible again going forward.
There is agreement "that we want to take this deployment to an end together as coalition partners in a responsible way that does not endanger the grinding of the peace processor," he said.
