乌拉圭也谨感谢西班牙代表团为编写和谈判我们今天刚通过的主席声明（S/PRST/2016/14）所作的努力。乌拉圭重申，我国支持阿富汗政府并鼓励它继续努力在主权、领土完整和民族团结基础上实现持久和平。该国普遍存在的不稳定和不安全要求国际社会不断提供支持，以克服它在政治和安全领域中面临的直接影响其经济发展的障碍。我们感到遗憾的是，过去几周发生的政治分裂对政府的团结提出考验。在这方面，我们呼吁该国政府当局以必要的领导魄力采取行动达成一项协议，以便实现稳定并能够开展相关的改革，为阿富汗人民造福。为此也需要获得国际声援。同样，我们呼吁作出持续努力，争取促成政府与塔利班之间的直接会谈，这将创造有利于阿富汗实现和平的条件。
Uruguay would also like to acknowledge the work of the delegation of Spain in preparing and negotiating the presidential statement (S/PRST/2016/14) that we have just adopted today. Uruguay reiterates its support for the Government of Afghanistan and encourages it to continue its efforts to move towards a lasting peace that is based on sovereignty, territorial integrity and national unity. The instability and insecurity that prevail in the country continue to require the ongoing support of the international community to overcome the obstacles that it is facing in the political and security areas, which have a direct effect on its economic development. We deplore the fact that the political divisions seen over the past few weeks have put the Government’s unity to the test. In that respect, we call on the country’s authorities to act with the necessary leadership so as to bring about an agreement that will provide stability and make it possible to carry out the relevant reforms for the benefit of the Afghan people. International solidarity will also be required to that end. In the same vein, we call for sustained efforts to bring about direct talks between the Government and the Taliban that will create conditions conducive to peace in Afghanistan.
