  1. “Anifah Aman, at the recent International Conference on Afghanistan in Bonn. In that regard, my delegation reiterates its commitment to Afghanistan in the areas of governance, security, the peace process, economic and social development and regional cooperation, as agreed at the Bonn Conference. In conclusion, the International Conference on Afghanistan had the theme, "From Transition to the Transformation Decade of 2015-2024". Malaysia looks forward to continuing to play a meaningful role in Afghanistan's development, not just for the 10 years of the transformation decade, but for many more decades to come.”

  2. “As of October 2011, a total of 399 Afghans have benefited from the many Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme courses offered in such areas as diplomacy, public administration, the judiciary, banking, engineering and customs administration. The Malaysian Defence Cooperation Programme has provided training for several Afghan military officers in tactics and the Arabic language. Malaysia also facilitates joint capacity-building initiatives through our Third Country Training Programme, such as the Malaysia-Australia Education Project for Afghanistan, which provides trainer training for Afghan lecturers and teachers in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia's commitment to supporting the international community's efforts to assist Afghanistan was further underlined by the participation of our Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr.”

  3. “My delegation believes that the way forward is to open a clear line of communication with those leaders who disagree with the Government but who have renounced violence and accepted the Afghan Constitution. Malaysia strongly believes that human capacity- building represents an important building block in nation-building and, in the case of Afghanistan, in rebuilding the country. Human capacity-building is also the most practical way forward for Afghanistan to achieve greater and more sustainable growth and development. To that end, Malaysia will continue to provide technical assistance to Afghanistan through our various technical training and capacity-building programmes.”

  4. “They have since been recognized by their ISAF partners and the local populace as providers of innovative solutions, sensitive to the local social and religious context. I cannot stress enough the value that Malaysia places on winning the hearts and minds of the Afghan people. Accordingly, and out of respect for the country's democracy and Constitution, non-violence and the rights of all Afghan people, my delegation supports the Afghan-led and Afghan-owned reconciliation and reintegration process, which is a political process that deserves the focused attention and support of the international community. We should now be concentrating on non-military options in order to complement and subsequently seal the gains that Afghanistan has achieved to date.”

  5. “Malaysia therefore calls upon all parties to respect both the letter and spirit of international humanitarian law, in order to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people. Winning the battle for hearts and minds is something that Malaysia has persistently advocated, given our experience in dealing with armed insurgencies during the formative years of our own nationhood. Indeed, it was in that same spirit that we accepted the invitation by the Afghan Government to join the ISAF, and, in July 2010, 40 members of the Malaysian Armed Forces medical contingent were deployed to the Bamyan province. Their mandate is to provide medical, dental and health-care services to the Afghan civilian population.”

  6. “Our thoughts go to the victims and families of those affected by all those tragic incidents. Of no less importance, however, is the increasing number of civilians killed in Afghanistan; that is an issue about which my delegation is particularly concerned. Last month, the Council heard Ms. Navanethem Pillay, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, express the concern that the increase in civilian casualties was occurring "in a climate characterized by a lack of accountability for serious violations of international law" (see S/PV.6650). While the deliberate targeting of civilians by anti-Government elements should rightfully be condemned, it is even more disturbing to note that pro-Government and NATO-led ISAF forces may be responsible for a significant percentage of civilian casualties.”

  7. “We are now witnessing another turning point in Afghan history, with the transfer of security responsibilities from ISAF to the Afghan National Security Forces. However, much more needs to be done to improve the security situation in Afghanistan. Malaysia joins the Security Council and the international community in condemning the horrific attacks in Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif that took place on 6 December. My delegation remains concerned about the continued targeted assassinations of high-ranking Government officials, members of the security forces and influential local political and religious leaders. We also express our condolences to the survivors of those who perished in the attack by insurgents on the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees facility in Kandahar on 31 October.”

  8. “Let me also join others in congratulating Mr. J an Kubis on his appointment to replace Special Representative de Mistura next year. Ten years ago, the Security Council determined that the situation in Afghanistan constituted a threat to international peace and security. Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council authorized the creation of the International Stabilization Assistance Force (ISAF) to assist the Afghan Interim Administration, headed by the recently appointed Chairman Hamid Karzai. That turning point in the history of Afghanistan was marked by resolution 1386 (2001), adopted on 20 December 2001. Ten years later, we are pleased to see that President Karzai is leading the country out of the morass of the unfortunate conflict there.”

  9. “I have the honour to deliver the following statement on behalf of Mr. Hussein Haniff, the Permanent Representative of Malaysia to the United Nations. Let me first of all welcome the presence of Mr. Jawed Ludin, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan, Mr. Herve Ladsous, Under-Secretary- General for Peacekeeping Operations, and Mr. Staffan de Mistura, Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Afghanistan. My delegation extends its appreciation to the Secretary-General for his latest report on the situation in Afghanistan (S/2011/772*). My delegation also extends our appreciation to Mr. Staffan de Mistura and members of the United Nations Assistant Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for the dedication and resilience they have shown in carrying out their duties under challenging conditions in the country.”
