KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Jens Stoltenberg, NATO's new Secretary-General, arrived in Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday in his first visit to the country as NATO chief.
The former prime minister of Norway visited a training center for Afghan troops, and will meet with the Afghan National Army Special Operations Command in Kabul.
Speaking at the training center, Stoltenberg reinforced NATO's commitment to training and advising local troops after NATO combat troops withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
About 12,500 NATO troops, mostly from the United States, will remain in Afghanistan beyond the withdrawal deadline for training purposes.
Stoltenberg became NATO secretary-general in October.

KABUL, Afghanistan The governor of Afghanistan's central bank says the scandal that saw almost $1 billion embezzled from the Kabul Bank by senior shareholders has been resolved.
More than $330 million has been recovered, and $500-600 million worth of assets have been identified, Noorullah Delawari said on Wednesday.
He says the amount still to be repaid is now being pursued through the courts, or is subject to requests to other countries, including the United States, for help in recovery.
The Kabul Bank collapsed in 2010 and was placed in receivership after major shareholders, including relatives of senior politicians such as the former president and vice president, were accused to using it to fund lavish lifestyles.
The scandal shook international confidence in Afghanistan's financial sector and ability to oversee its banking sector.
