National Security Council

Asked for more details on the National Security Council (NSC) meeting on Afghanistan, the PMS said that he would give a read out after the meeting. This was an opportunity for Ministers to take stock of progress. We had an objective to protect our national security and help the Afghans take control of theirs. The NSC was the forum for discussing those issues and today they were having an in depth discussion about how things were progressing with our Ambassador in Afghanistan.

Asked if they would be looking at options, the PMS said that there was a clear, internationally agreed strategy for drawing down troops. You would expect Ministers to review the progress and take stock from time to time.
