该国日益动荡的局势、顽固存在的安全挑战和政治反对派日益加大的压力也令人感到极其关切，阿富汗大使把这种压力描述为“我国公民按照其民主权利表达意见的民主辩论例行演习的一部分，我们充满活力社会的标志”。这是阿富汗政治发展方面的显著进展，必须予以保持和加强。
Also of great concern is the increasingly volatile situation in the country, the persistent security challenges and the growing pressure from the political opposition, which the ambassador of Afghanistan describes as “part of a routine exercise of democratic debate and a hallmark of our vibrant society, where citizens express their views in accordance with their democratic rights”. This is remarkable progress in Afghanistan’s political development, to be maintained and strengthened.
