French Troops In Afghanistan

French Prime Minister Francois Fillon has told Afghan President Hamid Karzai that the French troops will stay as long as it takes to bring stability in Afghanistan. France is the fourth largest contributor of Western troops helping Afghanistan. France announced it would be sending 80 new military trainers to help build the national security. Washington has been pushing Paris to increase the amount of troops they are sending. However, they will not be sending extra combat troops.
