Proceeding contribution from Roberta Blackman-Woods (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.


Afghanistan

I thank the Prime Minister for his statement and the priority he is giving to Afghanistan issues. Does he agree that if the Afghans are to buy into the new state we must not only maintain security, but make progress in terms of economic development? Will he therefore press the United Nations to encourage the international community not only to be better co-ordinated, but to do more on security and economic development?
