Abdullah Abdullah has praised Afghan cadets during a visit to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

Mr Abdullah, who effectively serves as Afghanistan’s Prime Minister under President Ashraf Ghani, began his visit with a short brief about the ethos of Sandhurst.

The Academy’s principles have served as the basis for the Afghan National Army Officer Academy outside Kabul where British mentors work with coalition partners from Australia, New Zealand, Denmark and Norway to develop an Afghan officer corps.

Mr Abdullah then met with Afghan cadets. They discussed the rigorous training they undergo alongside their British colleagues, before addressing all of the officer cadets at Sandhurst in the Churchill Hall.
