  1. “The country must not be allowed to become isolated once again. We are open to deliberations and suggestions to promote our initiative, as well as to further elaborate it with interested Member States in order to seek their principled support, as well as to identify a mandate for the group and then launch a joint appeal to the General Assembly. We also hope for broad support from the Organization’s main organs, which would ensure international recognition of the international negotiating group as an effective political tool to address the Afghan problem.”

  2. “In a couple of days, a new humanitarian cargo shipment will be sent to Afghanistan. Other success stories include the restoration of work at Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport, the biggest transportation hub in the north. The educational centre in Termez provides training for more than 40 Afghan specialists and more than 200 Afghan boys and girls. In conclusion, I want to highlight that the Afghan people have never waged wars themselves. Instead, the fire of war has always been brought to Afghan soil from the outside. That is why the global community must assume greater moral responsibility for the destiny of the Afghan people and for the future of their country. That is why we believe that, despite the existing negative elements in the actions of the Taliban, the Afghan people cannot be left to face existing challenges alone.”

  3. “We have created a logistics hub in the border city of Termez in order to deliver humanitarian aid, not only to Afghanistan but also to other countries of the region. The hub is now being actively used by various United Nations agencies. In addition, the President of Uzbekistan established a special humanitarian support fund for Afghanistan in Termez in order to use the hub’s potential. We call for the Council’s support in granting that hub an international status under United Nations auspices. Uzbekistan will continue to provide all possible support to the Afghan people in order to mitigate their humanitarian situation, including the supply of electricity at reduced rates. We have provided emergency humanitarian aid to the Afghan people on several occasions.”

  4. “It is about helping them to gradually normalize their relations with the world community. The initiative is well-thought-out and based on our positive experience engaging with the Taliban since the time they came to power. In particular, through dialogue with the Taliban, we succeeded in having schools for girls opened in the northern provinces. For the first time in the past 25 years, we opened a land route for the transit of goods to the seaports of Pakistan and back through Afghanistan. Within 10 months this year, about 600,000 tons of goods were transported in both directions along that transit route without any security incidents. We have established partnership in counter- terrorism, and now the Taliban are sharing their information by warning us about potential security risks, threats and terrorist attacks.”

  5. “The ING is meant to be a unique platform for dialogue with the new Afghan authorities in Kabul and to convey to them both the demands of the world community and their serious concerns regarding the violation of international norms. The ultimate goal of the ING is to negotiate with the Afghan authorities for step-by-step fulfilment of the demands of the world community and, ultimately, work out a precise algorithm of actions to be taken by the sides. In cooperation with UNAMA, the proposed ING would develop a programme of measures on reciprocal actions, including some incentives, as the Taliban demonstrates verifiable progress. We also see a role for UNAMA in the oversight of the implementation of actions to be reciprocally agreed. Let me underscore that the ING activities are not about making concessions to the Taliban.”

  6. “Under these circumstances, in our view, we must continue to demand that the Afghan authorities fulfil the key commitments, while intensifying a dialogue with the interim Government. To that end, we propose establishing, under United Nations auspices and with its support, a high-level international negotiating group on a settlement in Afghanistan — the ING. That initiative was launched by the President of Uzbekistan Mr. Shavkat Mirziyoyev, at the sixth Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-building Measures in Asia, held in Astana on 18 October. In that regard, I would like to thank relevant Member States for the principal support for that idea.”

  7. “At the same time, the de facto authorities have succeeded in reducing the level of armed violence and maintaining public order throughout the country. The Kabul Administration is taking active measures aimed at neutralizing the activities of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham, restoring the economy, ensuring public services and developing trade and international cooperation. UNAMA has played a big role in those positive developments. Despite the positive trends, the Taliban still show no intention of creating an inclusive Government and continue restricting the access of girls and women to education. There is no justification for closing universities to women, as we heard today. A number of countries are reasonably concerned with potential terrorist threats, as well as the acute deterioration of the situation of women.”

  8. “I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this open briefing. I also take the opportunity to thank Special Repre- sentative of the Secretary-General Otunbayeva, other United Nations officials and Council members for their informative statements. I want to echo the statements with regard to the worsening humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. Indeed, the country is suffering from unprecedented humanitarian calamity. According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance has reached 24.4 million, which is 6 million more as compared to 2021. More than 3 million Afghans are suffering from starvation. In the near future, nearly 90 per cent of the population may fall into poverty.”
