NATO defence ministers did not decide whether or when to pull out of Afghanistan, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday.

"At this stage we have made no final decision on the future of our presence," he said after a video conference with allied defence ministers. "As the May 1 deadline is approaching, NATO allies will continue to closely consult and coordinate in the coming weeks," he told a news conference.
