U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says Afghan President Hamid Karzai's plan to reintegrate Taliban soldiers back into society will bring greater stability and security to Afghanistan.

Clinton addressed delegates from around 70 countries meeting Thursday in London for talks on stabilizing Afghanistan and developing a strategy to bring about an end to the Afghan war.

Clinton said with the right incentives, many low and mid-level Taliban soldiers can become a part of Afghan democracy if they renounce violence and accept all tenets of the Afghan constitution.

She said the United States is looking forward to the launch of an international trust fund to support the reintegration effort.
