Mr Cameron said the UK remained committed to the full handover of responsibility for security throughout the country to the Afghan authorities by the end of 2014.
''This decision is not only right for Britain, it is right for Afghanistan too,'' he said.
''It has given the Afghans a clear deadline against which to plan and has injected a sense of urgency into their efforts.''
The latest troop reductions come on top of the earlier announcement of a drawdown of 426 British troops by the end of next February.
