The relations between Germany and Afghanistan began during World War I. Relations between the two countries have historically been friendly, with Afghans even referring to Germany as German kākā ("uncle German").[1] A friendship agreement was concluded on March 3, 1926.[2]
Afghanistan established close ties with Germany in 1935, seeking an alternative to its historical position contested between Russia and Britain. Afghanistan resisted calls from Moscow and London to expel the Italian and German diplomatic corps for most of World War II.[3]
Currently Germany is engaged in a security mission with its military and reconstruction efforts in the northern areas of Afghanistan.
