The resolution noted a commitment made by Afghan parties to withdraw military personnel from Kabul. It encouraged neighbouring states to assist ISAF by providing overflights and transit, and stressed that the expense of the ISAF operation would be borne by participating states with contributions made to a voluntary trust fund established by the Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Furthermore, the Council requested the leadership of ISAF to provide periodic reports on the implementation of its mandate, and for states participating in ISAF to provide training for new Afghan security forces.[1]
