Thank you for your letter of 4 November about the political alliance of Afghan Mujahedin parties which was formed last year.

We regard the formation of the Alliance as a positive development and fully support its efforts to play a greater role on the international scene. Geoffrey Howe met the then spokesman of the Alliance when he visited Pakistan in April. On 5 November Tim Eggar chaired a meeting of Permanent Representatives of the Twelve in New York with a delegation of the Alliance which had travelled to New York for the General Assembly. This enabled the Twelve to reiterate their support for the Alliance's efforts to inform the international community of what is happening inside Afghanistan.
