Boris Johnson, who was born in New York, said the 67 Britons who died in the 9/11 attacks are "a symbol of the eternal friendship between the UK and the US".
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Friday the perpetrators of the September 11, 2001 attacks failed to destroy Western values, in a video message for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. "We can now say with the perspective of 20 years that they (the jihadists) failed to shake our belief in freedom and democracy," he said in the message delivered ahead of the anniversary on Saturday. "They failed to drive our nations apart, or cause us to abandon our values, or to live in permanent fear." Johnson, who was born in New York, said the 67 Britons who died in the attacks are "a symbol of the eternal friendship between the United Kingdom and the United States".More Related News
