首先，我谨代表我国政府正式感谢安全理事会通过了非常及时的主席声明S/PRST/2016/14，其中表达了安理会的一致支持。第二，请允许我感谢新西兰外交部长默里·麦卡利先生阁下主持今天关于阿富汗问题的会议。新西兰是阿富汗的真正朋友，我确信，正是本着这种友谊的精神，麦卡利部长才作如此坦率的发言。
First, on behalf of my Government, I wish to officially thank the Security Council for adopting the very timely presidential statement S/PRST/2016/14, expressing its unanimous support. Secondly, let me thank the Foreign Minister of New Zealand, His Excellency Mr. Murray McCully, for presiding over today’s meeting on Afghanistan. New Zealand is a true-blue friend of Afghanistan, and I am sure that it was in the spirit of such friendship that Minister McCully spoke so frankly in his statement.
