British Ambassador Nigel Sheinwald hosted a dinner at his Residence to commemorate the 204th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar on 22 October.
The statement outlined the UK’s work with Pakistan to counter the terrorist threat from al Qaeda and the Taliban, and the priorities for Afghanistan in the future.
UK Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth and UK Home Secretary Alan Johnson have made a visit to Afghanistan and Pakistan to see the work of British forces operating in Afghanistan first hand.
"Failure in Afghanistan would have profound consequences for our national security. It would embolden those who preach extremist violence and increase the threat of terrorist attacks here at home."
