Afghanistan’s future is up for discussion at a huge conference in Germany.

About 100 countries and international organizations are represented at the conference, but Pakistan is boycotting because of an accidental NATO missile strike that killed a number of Pakistani troops, the Associated Press reports.

The Bonn conference is expected to address the transfer of security responsibility to Afghan security forces over the next three years, long-term prospects for international aid and a possible political settlement with the Taliban.

The United States and conference organizers say they will go ahead with promises of continued aid.
