(dpa) - German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder stands between two national flags as he speaks during a press conference at the chancellery in Berlin, 27 August 2003. The security council lead by Schroeder decided an extension of the Afghanistan mission. Germany offered to send 250 soldiers to the northern Afghan province of Kunduz to rebuild roads, schools and hospitals, but underlined a difference with Washington by stressing that Berlin needs a United Nations mandate before acting. The current U.N. mandate only authorizes protection of the Afghan capital Kabul by the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Germany provides 2, 000 men, half of ISAF. Schroeder called for a U.N. Security Council resolution extending ISAF's mandate.
