  1. “We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our gratitude to Kazakhstan for its initiative in organizing this public debate, as well as for the remarkable trip to Kabul by all 15 members of the Security Council during which a consensus was reached on supporting Afghanistan in its efforts to achieve development and to normalize its situation. I would also like to commend the hospitality and warm welcome that all of us, including Equatorial Guinea, received from the Afghan Government. In conclusion, Equatorial Guinea accepts and supports the presidential statement (S/PRST/2018/2) adopted at this meeting and believes that its publication will help to promote development, stability and peace in Afghanistan and the Central Asian region.”

  2. “We hope that the Afghan Government will tackle the problem thoroughly in coordination and cooperation with its neighbours and the international community, and that it will intensify its efforts in the fight against drugs with comprehensive measures. The role of Afghanistan's neighbours in the region is crucial and, together with the international community, they should continue their efforts to fulfil their commitments and support the Afghan Government and people. Equatorial Guinea calls for continued assistance to the country while respecting the interests, desires and specific characteristics of the Afghan people. Afghanistan's development is tied to the development of the whole of Central Asia.”

  3. “The international community must redouble its efforts to support the Afghan Government in implementing the Afghanistan Compact and the national development strategy so as to make progress in economic development and in improving infrastructure, education, health, human rights, the rule of law and other areas. It must be ensured that the dividends of development are beneficial to, and shared by, the entire Afghan people. The adoption of an integrated approach is crucial to combat opium cultivation and drug trafficking. The issue of drugs impacts negatively not only on Afghanistan's economy, livelihoods, security and stability, but also on the capacity of the Government, as well as on the customs and beliefs of its people.”

  4. “We are happy to see that, as a result of the support and activities of the United Nations Regional Center for Preventive Diplomacy in Central Asia, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan and regional organizations, the region has strengthened capacities to overcome challenges to peace, stability and sustainable development, including in such areas as the fight against terrorism, transnational organized crime, the fight against drug trafficking, trafficking in persons, illegal immigration and the use of the Internet for terrorism. A key consideration for lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan is the need to accelerate social and economic development in order to improve the living standards of the population.”

  5. “Afghanistan's security and stability are important for the entire region, as we continue to see worrying and increasing terrorist activities carried out by associated persons, groups, business and entities in Afghanistan that pose serious threats not only to Afghanistan but to all countries in Central Asia. The United Nations as a whole has an important role to play in those efforts.”

  6. “Equatorial Guinea condemns the existence of safe havens for terrorists in the region, which are used for training and preparing attacks - not only in Afghanistan but all around the world. The support of the international community for such an approach is crucial, including on the part of the most developed countries and of the United Nations. Equatorial Guinea welcomes the approach of Afghanistan's Central Asian regional neighbours, which view the country as a partner but also believe that Afghans themselves must lead an internal peace process to bring about prosperity and stability for the country, and must enjoy the support of the countries of the region because, as has been shown, there can be no regional stability without a stable Afghanistan.”

  7. “We firmly believe that this region has great potential for development and the resources required to achieve it, but that will also require the contributions, collaboration and cooperation of all. The international community must therefore continue supporting the efforts of the Afghan Government to achieve stability, security and sustainable and lasting development. The endemic security problems and their ramifications are the main obstacle to achieving that goal. As today's agenda indicates, security and development are closely linked. The commitment of all the States of Central Asia to the development of Afghanistan requires their cooperation on security. A regional approach is required in order to address the problem jointly.”

  8. “Mr. Mituy Edjang (Equatorial Guinea) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, I convey to everyone warm greetings and a happy new year on behalf of His Excellency President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea. The Government of Equatorial Guinea expresses its gratitude to the United Nations and to the Government of Kazakhstan for having jointly organized this high-level meeting on Afghanistan and Central Asia. We also thank Secretary- General Antonio Guterres for his briefing, as well as the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan for his statement later in this meeting. This meeting reflects the strategic importance and specific role of Afghanistan and Central Asia as a whole and the importance the international community attaches to them.”
