Kabul (BNA) The government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan on behalf of the people welcomes the recent decision by Britain to continue its cooperation with the government and people of Afghanistan in areas of development, military and security.
Britain’s assistance for Afghanistan will continue in two areas- military assistance that includes cooperation in war on terrorism and training of National Security and Defense Forces (ANSDF) as well as assistance in development and economic areas. The cooperation is grounded in shared threats and interests between the two governments and peoples. The government of Afghanistan believes that inasmuch as terrorism threatens the region and the world, joint action against this phenomenon can ensure peace in the region. One of the prerequisites to completely eliminate insecurity and other risks that threaten our country and international partners is the prosperity and economic development of Afghanistan; to that end, the government of Afghanistan thanks its international partners like Britain for their assistance. Sustaining international cooperation to strengthen ANSDF augments the commitment and effectiveness of these forces to fulfill their grand mission, and further boosts their morale.
