New Zealand troops out of Afghanistan in 3-5 years

(Xinhua)_ New Zealand troops will be out of Afghanistan in three to five years, said Prime Minister John Key on Thursday.
After talks with NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in New York, Key told reporters that while NATO wanted to beef up its presence, "from New Zealand's point of view that's not on the table," the New Zealand Press Association reported on Thursday.
New Zealand's commitment is the 71 Special Air Service (SAS) troops and about 140 defense force personnel who are currently running a provincial reconstruction team (PRT) in Bamiyan province.
Key has previously said that contribution would be gradually wound down.
There are already more than 100,000 foreign soldiers in Afghanistan, battling a Taliban insurgency which has taken control of many parts of the country.
Key told Rasmussen that New Zealand wanted to exit in three to five years.
