Defence ministers from the eight countries involved in the international coalition fighting in southern Afghanistan have agreed a "strategic plan" on how to go forward, Australian Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon said Friday, according to DPA. Fitzgibbon, speaking after a one-day ministerial meeting just outside Edinburgh, Scotland, said the talks had given Australia an opportunity to express its "frustration with the limited progress in Afghanistan." The other countries taking part were Britain, the US, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, Estonia and Romania.
