  1. “Kazakhstan will continue to contribute to bilateral, regional and multilateral action for the recovery, stability, peace and progress of Afghanistan. Finally, the work of UNAMA is acknowledged as indispensable to these objectives. Its presence, its achievements and successes are necessary in Afghanistan. We support the extension of its mandate for another year.”

  2. “Regional trade and economic and transit-transport cooperation are critical to the economic revival of Afghanistan. Countering terrorism will not be effective unless we properly address the issues of development. My country therefore proposes the establishment of a United Nations regional centre in Almaty, which already hosts 18 United Nations regional and subregional offices. The centre would promote development, disaster risk-reduction and resilience-building, and coordinate cost-effective humanitarian aid from the United Nations. We support the development strategy of the One Belt-One Road initiative, as proposed by China, which could bring economic growth and prosperity to our part of the world.”

  3. “The armed conflict has resulted in a grave humanitarian situation, with increased numbers of deaths of civilians. Kazakhstan is particularly concerned that the destruction of hospitals and schools has continued. All these violations of international humanitarian law must be prohibited, prosecuted and condemned. We need to support UNAMA's assistance to the Government in promoting human rights and taking care of the influx of refugees into Afghanistan, as well as in launching the proposed national countering violent extremism strategy for Afghanistan. Kazakhstan provides assistance to Afghanistan by sponsoring the education of 1,000 Afghan students and providing humanitarian assistance to vulnerable Afghan citizens. Kazakhstan and Japan have launched a project that focuses on human rights and the economic independence of Afghan women.”

  4. “We commend the work of the NATO-led mission and the efforts of a number of countries to train the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces and reform the security sectors of the army and police. The increase in poppy cultivation and opium production in Afghanistan poses another big threat to security. We need to combat this scourge and support the coordinated measures taken by Government of Afghanistan, together with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and INTERPOL. The Central Asian Regional Information and Coordination Centre for Combating Illicit Trafficking in Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and their Precursors, located in Almaty, plays important role, and we encourage closer cooperation among the countries of origin, transit and destination in that regard.”

  5. “At the same time, Kazakhstan welcomes multilateral engagement at the regional level and supports the recommendation of the Secretary- General that the role of regional countries remains vital to any political process. We are concerned about the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, which remains unstable and fragile because of well-known international terrorist organizations - not home-grown, as stated by our Afghan colleague - operating out of that country and posing serious security threats to Afghanistan itself and the countries of the region, including Central Asian States. Kazakhstan underlines that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Collective Security Treaty Organization constantly address the situation in Afghanistan.”

  6. “Kazakhstan commends the Afghan leadership for its continued efforts to ensure more effective coordination and proactive engagement with the opposition political parties within the country in order to find common ground on critical issues the country faces. We encourage the recently established Independent Election Commission to introduce new reforms to ensure successful impartial parliamentary and regional elections. Our delegation highly appreciates the commitment of the Government of Afghanistan to the peace process and calls on all interested sides within and outside the country to exert every effort to support it. We recognize that the political process in Afghanistan is Afghan-led and Afghan-owned.”

  7. “We thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Yamamoto for his comprehensive briefing, as well his for the commitment and contribution of the team of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) to peace and security in Afghanistan. We also thank Ms. Sima Samar, Chair of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, for her briefing, firmly calling for the protection of women's rights and their wider engagement in Afghanistan's development. We also thank the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan for his statement. As a State of the region, Kazakhstan takes to heart all the issues regarding the development of Afghanistan and is genuinely interested in its stable, secure and prosperous development.”

  9. “We stand ready to assist the population, support international mediation efforts and facilitate the negotiation process among all the parties and their leaders, with a View to resolving this situation as soon as possible. Kazakhstan continues to provide both bilateral and multilateral aid. All parties must follow their obligations to provide free access to humanitarian assistance in the conflict zone. We believe that the full-fledged normalization of the country's situation can be achieved only with the economic recovery of Ukraine, which should be our primary and requisite consideration. We therefore call for economic confidence-building measures to be established.”

  10. “We therefore call for strict compliance with resolution 2202 (2015), on the Minsk agreements. Kazakhstan fully endorses the activities of the Trilateral Contact Group and its working groups on implementing confidence-building measures in the four areas they cover. We welcome the results of the Contact Group meeting held in Minsk on 1 February. We also believe that any further escalation of tensions should be prevented in order to avoid a worsening of the situation. Any aggravation of the current circumstances could have unpredictable consequences both regionally and globally. We call upon the parties to withdraw their heavy weapons from the contact line.”

  11. “We express sincere concerns about the fate of young people, women and all vulnerable groups in the crisis zone, as well as the effect on future generations. Last March, my President, who contributed to the launch of the Normandy format, mentioned at the Nuclear Security Summit that was held in Washington, DC, that bringing an end to the conflict in eastern Ukraine should be of utmost common priority. Conflicts should be resolved through negotiations. Kazakhstan is firmly convinced that there is no alternative to resolving the crisis in Ukraine other than through peaceful means based on the observance by all participants of their obligations, in accordance with the norms and values of international law and key principles of the Charter of the United Nations.”

  12. “Kazakhstan is gravely concerned about the dangerously deteriorating situation in eastern Ukraine and its severe impact on the local civilian population, which results in death and injuries and many humanitarian problems. We extend our sincere and deep condolences following the civilian casualties, which we consider to be unacceptable. We express our appreciation to Under-Secretaries-General Feltman and O'Brien and to Ambassador Apakan for their updates, as well as their efforts to resolve the crisis. My delegation would like to refer to some key points. We are very much interested in the stability of Ukraine, taking into account all that has transpired and the current situation on the ground.”
