1. “When we first gathered in December 2001 in Bonn, Germany, we began a process that, in five years, would put Afghanistan back on the path towards an enduring stability. Though we were astonishingly successful in achieving the benchmarks set by the Bonn process, we soon acknowledged that further efforts would be necessary to address the magnitude of the challenges we faced. In Tokyo in 2002, London in 2006 and Paris in 2008, we adapted our plans to emerging realities and extended our efforts towards establishing a secure, stable and prosperous Afghanistan. After three decades of war, Afghanistan's economy was decimated, the State had disintegrated, and the society was bereft of infrastructure or even the most basic necessities of life. Millions had died.”

2. “First of all, let me extend my congratulations to you, Minister Okada, and your country for assuming the presidency of the Council for this month, and thank you for convening this meeting and inviting me to participate. I would also like to thank His Excellency the Secretary-General for his presence here today. The rebuilding of societies emerging from conflict is one of the biggest challenges to the maintenance of international peace and security and thus among the most important functions of this Council and this Organization. It is also of central 5 importance to Afghanistan, which struggles on a daily basis to establish peace and security. In Afghanistan, reconstruction and stabilization efforts began immediately after the fall of the Taliban at the end of 2001.”
