Afghanistan

My Lords, the noble Lord recognised that I have already indicated that there are no negotiations with the Taliban. I made clear in the Statement that the Afghan Government and president have made it clear that those who renounce and come across and support democracy, human rights and the constitution of Afghanistan are in a different position. However, it is absolutely clear that there will be no negotiations with the Taliban.
