“Afghanistan has taken considerable steps recently towards stability, but still faces many challenges that must be met in close cooperation with the international community, which has frequently reiterated its readiness to support the efforts of the Afghan Government in this regard. I cannot fail to highlight the effective role of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in coordinating international efforts and cooperation aimed at achieving stability and sustainable development for all Afghan constituencies. Afghanistan is a very important country in the region, and its stability and security are of vital importance to neighbouring countries and to its many partners.”

“We hope that all forces will increase their efforts to limit such incidents in order to preserve the safety and security of civilians. At the regional level, during the reporting period a number of meetings were held between Afghan officials and officials from neighbouring countries in order to expedite cooperation on various fronts, including in the economic, security and energy sectors. With respect to financial cooperation, we appreciate the efforts of the Afghan Government to implement the Tokyo Mutual Accountability Framework, and the detailed work plan it has put together, and we welcome the recent decision of the Afghan Cabinet in this regard.”

“The period covered by the report witnessed a profound domestic dialogue on the elections set for 2014, which will be the cornerstone of the political transition in Afghanistan. In preparation for those presidential and provincial elections, we welcome the ongoing consultations in the parliament concerning a new electoral law to be submitted to the Cabinet. We express our satisfaction with regard to the gradual transition of responsibility for security from the international forces to the Afghan authorities, which now cover areas inhabited by over 75 per cent of the Afghan population. This coincides with a reduction in the number of security incidents compared to last year, by virtue of the effective role of the international and Afghan forces in combating insurgents, despite the increased number of casualties.”

“I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. At the outset, I would like to welcome the Special Representative of the Secretary-General Mr. Jan Kubis and thank him for his briefing on the situation in Afghanistan. We appreciate his efforts and his effective leadership of United Nations efforts in that country. We also appreciate the role of the Afghan Ambassador, Mr. Zahir Tanin, in our discussion today and his explanation of Afghanistan's achievements and ambitions and the challenges it faces. The report of the Secretary-General before the Council (S/2012/907) is being presented in a very delicate regional and international climate, two years before international forces are set to leave Afghanistan and at the beginning of the transformation decade, which will start in 2015.”
