We are proud of the work British and allied forces have done in the last two decades alongside the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces, equipping them and developing their capability.
We will no longer provide funding to Afghan security institutions, redirecting this to humanitarian efforts which benefit the Afghan people
We will now use every diplomatic and humanitarian lever at our disposal to restore stability to Afghanistan.
