Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council/Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.


EU Council/Afghanistan, India and Pakistan

I understand the difficulties and the challenges that the right hon. and learned Gentleman raises, which result from history, but when I talked to President Zardari he informed me that he had made big changes. There has been a change at the head of the ISI and there are further changes in the departmental heads. It remains to be seen what happens as a result of that, but President Zardari was determined to tell me that the army is dedicated to the pursuit of terrorism. We will hold him to those words.
