  1. “I would like to note that Uzbekistan views Afghanistan as a key factor in strengthen regional connectivity and uniting the large macroregion of Central and South Asia, the Middle East and Eurasia, as a whole.”

  2. “We believe that in order to establish long-term peace in Afghanistan, due attention should be given to rebuilding the national economy and implementing large-scale energy and transport projects. Among them are the construction of the Termez-Mazar-i-Sharif- Kabul-Peshawar railway line and the restoration of Afghanistan’s internal transport arteries. We also see the potential in cooperation within the framework of the free trade zone that is being created in Termez. Its activities could be launched next year. In conclusion, we would like once again to thank the leadership and team of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan and other relevant United Nations agencies for their tireless work in Afghanistan.”

  3. “Uzbekistan dispatches humanitarian aid to the Afghan people on a regular basis and, as a close neighbour of Afghanistan, advocates providing immediate humanitarian aid to this country. We also see the significant progress that the new authorities of Afghanistan are making in combating corruption, drug addiction, drug production, drug trafficking and organized crime. The security situation in the country has improved significantly. According to the Afghan Ministry of Interior, last year almost 13,000 hectares of arable land were cleared of poppy. Nonetheless, the volume of trade in synthetic drugs such as methamphetamine increased sharply after the Taliban imposed a ban on opium poppy cultivation. We cooperate with the Afghans within the framework of joint commissions on border and agricultural issues.”

  4. “Ignoring, isolating and imposing sanctions are making the situation even worse for ordinary Afghans. At the same time, the formation of an inclusive Government that accurately reflects all segments of Afghan society and ensures basic rights and human freedoms, especially of women and girls and national minorities, still constitutes the fundamental condition for establishing long-term peace in Afghanistan. One more point I want to make is that Afghanistan is on the brink of a grave humanitarian catastrophe. To our knowledge, over the next six months, the World Food Programme needs at least $1 billion to deliver vital food and material assistance to 21 million people.”

  5. “I want to echo others in extending my gratitude to Special Representative Roza Otunbayeva for her comprehensive briefing on the situation in Afghanistan. We would also like to thank Mr. Ramesh Rajasingham, from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and Ms. Shaharzad Akbar for the provided information. Indeed, the current situation in Afghanistan is of serious concern to the countries of the region, as well as to the global community. Uzbekistan hopes to ensure that Afghanistan does not become a terrorist haven once again. In other words, Afghanistan should not pose a threat to the States of the region or to third parties. Besides, it would be a huge mistake to leave Afghans to their own devices with no means to tackle an array of challenge and problems.”
