A number of Parliament members welcomed signing the long-delayed agreement between Kabul and Washington to allow international forces to stay in the country beyond 2014.
Some of Parliament members said that the agreement should overcome all requirements of the security forces.
Senators believe that if there is no attention to equipping the security forces in the agreement, the approval of it will face problems in the senate.
Some of members in the parliament also believe that there will be no problem about the approval of the agreement.
The United States and Afghanistan on Tuesday signed a vital security deal that allows some American troops to remain in Afghanistan beyond this year, ensuring a continuing U.S. presence in the region.
The Bilateral Security Agreement allows for 9,800 U.S. troops to stay in the country past 2014 to help train, equip and advise Afghan military and police forces.
Hamid Karzai, who stepped down as president had refused to sign the deal — a disagreement that symbolized the breakdown of Afghan-US relations after the optimism of 2001 when the Taliban were ousted from power.
