  2. “In conclusion, my delegation calls on the States Members of the United Nations, and in particular the countries of the region, to ensure strict respect for the sanctions imposed on the Taliban. This would help to bring peace and stability to this country, which is devastated by a conflict that has lasted far too long. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. In line with note S/2017/507, I remind speakers that they are kindly requested to limit their statements to five minutes, so that the Council can carry out its work in a timely manner. Delegations with long statements are invited to distribute them in printed form and to deliver an abridged statement in the Security Council, because we have a long list of speakers in accordance with rules 37 and 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure.”

  4. “With regard to humanitarian issues, Cote d'Ivoire remains concerned about the situation of internally displaced persons and refugees, whose dignified and safe return to their areas of origin is made difficult by the lack of infrastructure, poor access to basic social services, problems related to land management and food insecurity risks. In this regard, my delegation commends the outstanding work of the United Nations and its partners in helping more than 3.5 million people in need. We therefore urge the international community to maintain its financial support for the humanitarian plan for Afghanistan in order to provide the necessary assistance to the population.”

  5. “The Initiative has yielded tangible results in the fight against drug trafficking through the sharing of information and simultaneous operations at the borders of the three countries. Moreover, Cote d'Ivoire has always favoured dialogue as a means of resolving conflict and urges the Taliban to firmly commit, within the framework of the Kabul process, to direct peace talks without preconditions with a view to achieving a political settlement of the crisis and lasting peace in Afghanistan. In the efforts to resolve the crisis, my country endorses the conclusions of a national conference on women's participation in the peace process, which was held on 12 December in Kabul. We believe that the greater involvement of women in the process would ensure that it has every chance of success.”

  6. “An election is scheduled for April that will be decisive for the future of Afghanistan - the presidential election. We hope that it will be transparent, credible and totally inclusive. In this regard, we note with satisfaction the commitment of the countries contributing to the Resolute Support Mission to maintaining their presence in Afghanistan and the pledges of funding for the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces until 2024. Furthermore, my country calls for the implementation of the Afghanistan-Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity, which could help to resolve the security problem in the region. Similarly, we welcomed the participation of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran in the Triangular Initiative meeting, which took place on 12 December in Islamabad, under the auspices of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.”

  7. “My delegation also welcomes the parliamentary elections held on 20 October, which mobilized many Afghans. Unfortunately, the elections were marred by deadly attacks carried out by the Taliban and the local branch of the Islamic State. These incidents negatively affected voter turnout. My country condemns this wave of violence, which once again reminds the Council of the need to pay sustained attention to the security situation in Afghanistan. We must recall that, 17 years after the fall of the Taliban regime, the protection of civilians and the delivery of humanitarian aid remain major challenges, especially in provinces under Taliban control. My delegation therefore encourages the forces in the country to further strengthen joint operations with the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces in the provinces most affected by insecurity.”
