Britain has 'resources and resolve to succeed'
Britain has the ``resources and resolve'' to succeed in Afghanistan, the Government has insisted after 10 years of war in the country, the Loughborough News reported Sunday.This week marks a decade since the US and UK launched the campaign known as Operation Enduring Freedom in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks.And the British administration is offering a cautiously optimistic assessment, while acknowledging that mistakes have been made.A Foreign Office spokesman said: ``Progress over 10 years has been uneven. At times, the international community lacked a cohesive plan and adequate resources to respond to an insurgency more resilient and adaptable than anticipated.''
The UK must strive to keep pace with its global competitors, according to the Confederation of British Industry.
