我们认为，这些事态发展表明亟需改善普通阿富汗公民的安全。我们赞扬阿富汗特种部队和阿富汗国防和安全部队作出称职和专业的反应，打击塔利班和其他叛乱分子。迄今十多年来，包括荷兰王国在内的国际社会一直为这些部队提供支持；同时，我们将按照在华沙发表的声明继续这样做。我们期待举行阿富汗问题布鲁塞尔会议。荷兰对外贸易和发展合作大臣普劳曼女士将与会。我们认为，本次会议是一个重要时刻，会议期间，国际社会将重申并应重申其对阿富汗人民的承诺。
In our view, those developments demonstrate the urgent need to improve security for ordinary Afghan citizens. We commend the Afghan special forces and the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces for their competent and professional response in countering the Taliban and other insurgents. The international community, including the Kingdom of the Netherlands, has supported those forces for over a decade now, and we will continue to do so, as was announced in Warsaw. We look forward to the Brussels Conference on Afghanistan, at which the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation of the Netherlands, Ms. Ploumen, will participate. We believe the Conference will be an important moment where the international community will renew, as it should, its commitment to the Afghan people.
