NATO Conference

Asked what was the importance of the coming NATO Conference in Riga, the PMOS said the Prime Minister attached importance to the conference, but the best time to talk about it would be when we were there. People could see in Kabul what the importance of the NATO effort was as a whole. First and foremost it should not be underestimated what had already been achieved in Kabul, in the North and in the West, and now turning to the South. That was the plan at the last NATO Conference in Istanbul, it had been decided then that we would follow it in this pattern and people should see the progress that we are making in Afghanistan as a whole, at the same time as recognising how difficult it is in Helmand, but even in Helmand progress was being made.
