今天，我们通过了关于阿富汗问题的主席声明（S/PRST/2016/14）。或许这说起来容易，但其意义重大。首先是因为该文件的现实意义。我们应当指出，安理会2014年以来没有通过任何有关阿富汗问题的主席声明。其次是因为这再次强调了安全理事会在支持阿富汗、其政府及公民问题上的团结一致，这在此时是极其重要的。再则是因为其及时性。数周后，我们将迎来无疑是近年来阿富汗问题最为重要的国际事件。我指的是将于10月份举行的布鲁塞尔阿富汗问题会议。会上，阿富汗政府将向国际社会介绍其新制定的《国家和平与发展框架》，它是在过去数年取得的显著成功基础上继续其在该国经济、社会和制度发展方面的工作的战略。我们国际社会成员方面则将有机会重申我们对那些目前努力的政治及财政支持，从而惠及全体阿富汗人民。
Today, we adopted a presidential statement (S/PRST/2016/14) on Afghanistan. That may be easy to say, but it is of great importance. First, that is because of the relevance of that instrument. We should point that the Council had not adopted a presidential statement on Afghanistan since 2014. Secondly, that is because this adoption underscores once again the unity of the Security Council in its support for Afghanistan, its Government and its citizens — something that is extremely important at this time. Thirdly, that is because of its timeliness. We are a few weeks away from what will undoubtedly be the most important international encounter for Afghanistan of recent years. I am referring to the Brussels Conference on Afghanistan to be held in October. At the Conference, the Government of Afghanistan will share with the international community its new National Peace and Development Framework, which is its strategy to continue its in-depth work on economic, social and institutional development in the country on the basis of the notable successes achieved in previous years. For our part, we members of the international community will have an opportunity to renew our political and financial support for those ongoing efforts for the benefit of all Afghans.
