Afghanistan
« Cabinet | Back to most recent briefing | Home Office inquiry »
Asked for the Prime Minister?s thoughts on Lord Richards? comments on news British troops would be pulling out of Afghanistan, the PMS said the Prime Minister had always been clear there would be a gradual process of drawing down rather than a ?cliff edge? approach when withdrawing from Afghanistan.
Asked how long the Prime Minister estimated democracy would last following withdrawal from Afghanistan, the PMS said progress had been made. He said the Prime Minister would point to the recent presidential election in Afghanistan which had passed peacefully. He added Britain would continue to support military training in Afghanistan and said there would also be future support from DFID.
