UK committed to Afghanistan, says William Hague

The Foreign Secretary William Hague says the UK will remain committed to Afghanistan as a major global conference on the country's future takes place in the German city of Bonn.

It comes 10 years after a similar gathering held in the city, weeks after the Taliban fell from power.

But key player Pakistan is boycotting this round in protest at a Nato attack on a border checkpoint last month.

William Hague said the focus would be on what happens after most Western forces leave the country in 2014 and how countries continue to help build a "sustainable Afghanistan".
