Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Robinson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 July 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8 Summit.
G8 Summit
May I assure my right hon. Friend that the House, and indeed the whole country, will be very reassured by his assurance that we are strictly realistic in our aims in Afghanistan? While part of the realism has to be the defeat of the Taliban, may not a broader political settlement involve some basic accommodation with the tribal factions, notably those of the Northern Alliance and the Pashtun? Sooner or later, that will be essential if we are to succeed.
