Your efforts in Afghanistan were not in vain, Johnson tells UK troops
Open letter from the prime minister tells military personnel they should take ‘the greatest pride’ in their service there, and that gains made will live on
Boris Johnson has responded to criticism that the rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan has undermined Britain’s 20-year involvement in the country, by telling those who served that the gains made there will not “swiftly be undone”.
In an open letter to current and former military personnel, the prime minister said they “should take the greatest pride” in their achievements in Afghanistan since the 2001 US-led invasion. He said they had succeeded in the “central mission” of keeping the UK safe from attacks masterminded from the country.
