阿富汗仍然面临艰巨的挑战。在安全方面，冲突造成的平民受害人数持续增加，令人深感关切，死亡或受伤儿童的数据特别令人震惊。因为境内流离失所者人数增加，本已严重的人道主义局势进一步恶化。我们最坚决地谴责继续危害该国的恐怖主义袭击，例如最近几周发生在喀布尔的袭击。面对这种毫无正当理由的滥杀滥伤暴力行为，意大利重申全力支持并认可阿富汗政府为打击恐怖主义和暴力武装团体的行动，并为确保国家和平与稳定而作出的努力。在此背景下，在7月于华沙举行北约首脑会议之际，意大利与联盟中的伙伴一道，决定作为框架国家继续积极参与坚定支持特派团的活动，协助阿富汗国防和安全部队加强其能力。
The challenges Afghanistan is facing remain daunting. On the security front, the persistent increase in the number of civilian victims of the conflict is cause for great concern, and the data on children who have died or been injured is particularly alarming. The already serious humanitarian situation has further deteriorated due to the increase in the number of internally displaced persons. We condemn most firmly the terrorist attacks that continue to plague the country, such as those in Kabul in recent weeks. In the face of such unjustifiable and indiscriminate acts of violence, Italy reiterates its full support for and recognition of the efforts of the Afghan Government to combat terrorism and the actions of violent armed groups and to ensure peace and stability for the country. Against that background, on the occasion of the NATO Summit held in Warsaw in July, together with its partners in the Alliance, Italy decided to continue its active engagement in the Resolute Support Mission as a framework nation, assisting the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces to enhance their capabilities.
