The Afghan National Security Forces ( ANSF) on Thursday assumed the full security charges from NATO-led troops as the security transition ended, said Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani.

"Afghanistan's national security forces are responsible for security duties of all the country from today on. It is a blessing and congratulatory day. I congratulate Afghans for this historic day," Ghani told a gathering to mark the event.

Transition of security responsibilities from NATO forces to the ANSF began in July, 2011 and lasts till the end of 2014.
