  2. “I would now like to make a further statement as the representative of the United States. The representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran stated today that the recent terrorist attack at a mosque in Chabahar, Iran, was "the result of the wrong policy of deployment of military foreign forces in our region". President Obama condemned the mosque attack after it occurred and extended his condolences. The assertion of the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran is totally without foundation. I now resume my function as President of the Security Council. I give the floor to Special Representative De Mistura to respond to comments and questions raised.”

  3. “We should also not lose sight of the tremendous challenges facing Afghan women, and we must continue to support their efforts to further advance their security-related, political, economic and social gains. The United States will continue to stand with the Afghan people as they work to build a stronger Afghanistan for the benefit of all its citizens. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Italy.”

  4. “Together with the Afghan National Security Forces, we have broadly arrested the Taliban's momentum, and even reversed it in some important areas. In many places, the gains we have made are still fragile and reversible, but we are unquestionably clearing more areas of Taliban control and more Afghans are reclaiming their own communities. Civilian development assistance has been critical to those advances. We must press forward in 2011 with even greater energy and determination. This will be a critical year. To sustain those gains and security over time, political and economic progress in Afghanistan are urgently needed. Going forward, we must all continue to focus on the delivery of basic services, transparency and accountability.”

  5. “As we move beyond this year's election, it will be important for UNAMA to remain engaged with Afghan electoral institutions to press forward with long-term electoral reform. We commend UNAMA's plans in this regard. As we are meeting at the height of the Fifth Committee's consideration of United Nations budget issues, let me briefly underscore the importance of meeting UNAMA's resource requirements. This Council has given UNAMA an extensive mandate, and its ability to fulfil it while ensuring its staff's security requires adequate resources. The United States urges all Member States to carefully consider the recent budget request for UNAMA and to offer their full support to fund that vital Mission. Despite many challenges, real progress has occurred in Afghanistan this year.”

  6. “As transition progresses, we will look to UNAMA to play an important and growing role in supporting local governance, monitoring the human rights situation, and supporting Afghan-led efforts to reintegrate former combatants who seek to return to the fold of Afghan society. The United States welcomed the Afghan Independent Electoral Commission's certification of the final results of the 18 September Wolesi Jirga elections. These important elections, administered under challenging circumstances, were the first parliamentary elections run entirely by Afghan institutions since the fall of the Taliban in 2001. We look forward to the formation of the new Parliament so that it can begin taking up its important constitutional role on behalf of the Afghan people.”

  7. “Just as the NATO- Afghanistan partnership agreed at the Lisbon summit affirms the international community's broader enduring support to Afghanistan, so too will the United States continue to support Afghanistan's development and security as a strategic partner. Training is the critical ingredient to making transition possible. Our allies and partners demonstrated their sustained commitment to this mission in Lisbon by meeting International Security Assistance Force requirements for Afghan National Security Forces trainers. Our actions prove that we are implementing a transition strategy, not an exit strategy.”

  8. “At last month's NATO summit in Lisbon, the Afghan Government and its international partners committed themselves to a clear plan to move forward. Together, we agreed that early 2011 will mark the beginning of a transition to Afghan-led responsibility for security, and we established a goal of having Afghan forces take the lead in security across the country by the end of 2014. Our ultimate goal in Afghanistan is to help Afghans build a State that can stand on its own, with support from the international community, and never again be a sanctuary for terrorists. This transition of security responsibility, coupled with an enduring commitment to Afghanistan beyond 2014, is key to the success of our long-term efforts. The transition will be a gradual, conditions-based process, not a single event.”

  9. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. I welcome Special Representative Staffan de Mistura. I should like to begin by thanking the Special Representative and colleagues here today for their kinds words about Ambassador Richard Holbrooke. As Vice-President Biden said here in the Council last week, Ambassador Holbrooke was one of the United States greatest warriors for peace and served so ably here in this Chamber and far beyond. We will all miss him very much. We continue to be impressed by Special Representative De Mistura's strong and effective leadership of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). We also deeply appreciate the work of all United Nations staff in Afghanistan, who operate under difficult conditions on behalf of the international community and in support of the Afghan people.”
