  2. “The Netherlands recently pledged to continue to support the NATO Resolute Support Mission to train, advise and support Afghan security forces and institutions in northern Afghanistan. We also contribute staff to UNAMA and to the European Union Police Training Mission. The NATO Summit in Warsaw in July 2016 and the Brussels summit in October 2016 will mark significant moments to show our commitment to Afghanistan beyond 2016, be it military, political or through development assistance. It is important that both the international community and the Afghan Government demonstrate their commitment to achieving progress in these fields. The continued engagement of the international community will remain crucial to safeguarding the progress that has been made. In the years to come the Kingdom of the Netherlands will stand by the Afghan people.”

  3. “Both the National Unity Government of Afghanistan and the international development partners must remain focused on building confidence in the Afghan economy, including by strengthening the rule of law. The Netherlands will continue to support that effort through contributions to reconstruction programmes, such as the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund, but also through the political and economic empowerment of Afghan women. The Kingdom of the Netherlands has been a long-time partner of Afghanistan, having contributed significantly in the areas of security, justice and development. We are committed to supporting Afghanistan throughout the transformation decade. Therefore, the Netherlands is assessing its post-2016 contributions, which will be made in the context of increased Afghan ownership and leadership.”

  4. “Lasting peace and stability cannot be established without a regional peace and reconciliation process. That process should be Afghan-led and Afghan-owned, and needs the buy-in of countries of the region whose security is closely interlinked with Afghanistan. I would like to stress that the sincere commitment of the countries ofthe region is crucial to achieving a peaceful and stable Afghanistan. In that context, we welcome the positive steps that were taken during the recent Heart of Asia Conference held in Islamabad. Apart from the security issues, Afghanistan also faces serious economic challenges. Recent reforms, such as the tax reform, are encouraging.”

  5. “The Kingdom of the Netherlands stands by the Afghan Government and the Afghan people and offers its condolences for the lives lost in recent attacks, including those of civilians as well as those fighting for the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces. The continued support of the international community, including the Kingdom of the Netherlands, remains essential. The developments , such as those seen in Kunduz, have shown the need to ensure women's protection and their meaningful participation. For that reason, the Netherlands welcomes the implementation of the Afghan National Action Plan for Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) and the establishment of prosecution units dealing with violence carried out against women in all provinces.”

  6. “The Kingdom of the Netherlands aligns itself with the statement made by the observer of the European Union. I would like to thank the Secretary-General for his detailed and thorough report (S/2015/942) and Special Representative Haysom for his briefing and for all the hard work carried out by United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in Afghanistan, and, of course, I would like to thank Ambassador Saikal for his informative statement. The UNAMA report describes an increase in the overall number of security incidents, which have also intensified in nature. That is a worrisome trend. Recent attacks in Kunduz, Kandahar, Kabul and, just today, in Helmand underline the conclusions of the report that Afghanistan faces ongoing and increasingly pressing security challenges.”
