经济领域存在一系列困难。必须积极打击非法经济、腐败以及毒品生产和贩运活动，因为它们都阻碍可持续地重建阿富汗的安全与发展。应鼓励与该区域各国和国际社会发展经济贸易。如山本先生此前告诉我的那样，在此种脆弱的环境下，如果想要应对各种挑战，那么维护阿富汗政府的团结显得尤为重要。我们呼吁阿富汗当局为此而努力。
There are a number of difficulties in the economic area. The unlawful economy, corruption and the production and trafficking of drugs must be actively fought, for they are all obstacles to the sustainable re-establishment of security and development of Afghanistan. The development of economic trade with countries of the region and the international community should be encouraged. As Mr. Yamamoto told me earlier, this fragile context makes maintaining the unity of the Afghan Government all the more essential if the challenges are to be met. We call on the Afghan authorities to work to that end.
