We want British Afghans to know that Britain fully values them: to know that the contribution they make to their communities and to Britain is appreciated and supported.

We know the Conservative Party and British Afghans have a great deal in common: a shared sense of history; a respect for democratic traditions and institutions; a belief in family and community; and a conviction that educational achievement, individual endeavour and entrepreneurship provide a route map to personal and community achievement and a stable and successful economy.
