prime minister julia gillard says australia will withdraw its troops from afghanistan earlier than planned.

澳大利亚总理茱莉亚·吉拉德称,将早于计划撤回驻扎在阿富汗的军队。

ms gillard made the announcement in a speech in canberra, and ahead of a key nato conference on afghanistan in chicago next month.

she said troops would begin pulling out this year and most would be home by the end of 2013 - an election year in australia.

most international troops are due to leave afghanistan by the end of 2014.

nato is in the process of handing over security control to local forces - some strategically important areas of the south and east have already been transferred to afghan forces.

there are currently about 130,000 nato troops serving in afghanistan from 50 contributing nations, the international security and assistance force says.

ms gillard's announcement, in a speech delivered to the australian strategic policy institute, came two days after a 1 of 2 attacks in kabul 3 for 18 hours left more than 50 people dead.

afghan president hamid karzai has linked sunday's militant attacks to intelligence failures, especially on the part of nato, but praised the performance of afghan troops.

'different' picture

ms gillard said she would raise the plan for australia's troop 4 at the nato conference on afghanistan in chicago on 21 may.

the government had 5 said most australian troops would leave in 2014.

but the prime minister said withdrawal would begin once afghans took on responsibility for security in uruzgan province - where the majority of australian troops are based.

she said she expected an announcement on this from mr karzai in "coming months", after which the pull-out would take between 12 and 18 months.

"when this is complete, australia's commitment in afghanistan will look very different to that which we have today," ms gillard said.

australia would also commit to paying its ''fair share'' toward international aid and military funding for afghan security forces after 2014, she added.

it was also prepared to consider maintaining a limited number of troops, she said, and would commit to 6 to train afghan forces.

australia has some 1,550 troops serving in afghanistan, mainly in the uruzgan region.

since 2001, a total of 32 australian soldiers have been killed in the country, according to australian media.

the new timeline would likely see most of the troops back home before the election next year.

ms gillard's minority administration has been slipping in popularity and some observers say 7 could be heading for defeat at the polls.
