Britain’s PM David Cameron on Friday pledged support for Afghanistan’s newly sworn-in president and the country’s new unity government, saying during a surprise visit to Kabul that Britain is committed to helping Afghans build a more secure and prosperous future. Cameron was the first of world leaders to meet Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, Afghanistan’s second elected president, since his inauguration on Monday.
The two had a meeting in Kabul on Friday morning and later held a joint press conference. ‘Britain has paid a heavy price for helping to bring stability to this country,’’ Cameron said, paying tribute to the 453 British servicemen and women who died while serving in Afghanistan.
