Hague's top priority is Afghanistan
Updated on 12 May 2010
New Foreign Secretary William Hague has said that getting a "grip" on Britain's military operations in Afghanistan would be his top priority on his first day in the job.
A national security council will be convened by the new coalition administration almost immediately to discuss the situation, Mr Hague indicated as he arrived at the Foreign Office.
"We are all concerned about the situation in Afghanistan and indeed one of the first things I will do when I go through this door is have a briefing on Afghanistan. Our new national security council will meet later today," he told Sky News on Wednesday morning.
