US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her NATO counterparts meet in Estonia Thursday to try to drum up more trainers for the Afghan army and discuss the alliance's role in nuclear defence. TALLINN (AFP) - – US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her NATO counterparts meet in Estonia Thursday to try to drum up more trainers for the Afghan army and discuss the alliance's role in nuclear defence. The talks in the capital Tallinn, starting at 1030 GMT, will first focus on plans to reform NATO to deal with modern security threats, followed by a working dinner on nuclear and missile defence policy. They will also mull whether to grant Bosnia-Hercegovina membership action plan status, the penultimate step to joining the 28-nation North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. Officials suggest this is unlikely to happen. Friday's morning session will include talks about cooperation with Russia -- although no Russian officials are due to attend -- and talks among NATO nations and partners fighting the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and their backers in Afghanistan. Ahead of the meeting, NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen urged the allies to help find 450 new trainers to help build up the Afghan army and police to take responsibility for national security on their own. "For transition to take place, we need Afghan forces to play their part. Which means we need trainers," he told reporters in Brussels. "We are still short about 450 trainers. It's a relatively small number. But those trainers have a big effect," he said, and urged the ministers "to see what they can do to free up these mission-critical resources." Rasmussen said the ministers would also seek to agree "on the principles and decision-making framework" for security duties to be handed from NATO and US-led forces to the Afghans. NATO leads a force of some 90,000 troops drawn from more than 40 nations and whose aim is to restore stability and democracy to Afghanistan in the face of a virulent insurgency. Meanwhile, a senior US official said the ministers in Tallinn would be having their first real talks on nuclear policy since the early 1990s. "It's useful to have this discussion. The world has changed fundamentally," he said. "How are we going to move forward, what are the principles on which our decisions are going to be based?" "Our principle, and most important guide-post for moving into this discussion is that we don't want to divide the alliance on this issue," he said.
