阿富汗全国各地的安全局势依然具有挑战性。最近在喀布尔发生的暴力袭击蓄意以阿富汗平民为目标，特别令人不安。我们谴责叛乱团体使用的野蛮手段。面对这些袭击，阿富汗人民和安全部队继续展现勇气和坚韧不拔的精神。澳大利亚重申致力于帮助阿富汗保护该国人民免遭反叛活动之害。我们支持加尼总统和阿卜杜拉首席执行官努力维持民族团结政府。各级政府间的建设性工作关系和共同愿景，对于管理阿富汗的安全和经济利益至关重要。
The security situation across Afghanistan remains challenging. Recent violent attacks in Kabul, deliberately targeting Afghanistan’s civilian population, are particularly concerning. We condemn the brutal tactics used by insurgent groups. In the face of these attacks, the Afghan people and security forces continue to demonstrate courage and resilience. Australia reaffirms its commitment to assisting Afghanistan in defending its people against the insurgency. We support the efforts of President Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah to maintain the National Unity Government. Constructive working relationships and a shared vision across all levels of Government are key to managing Afghanistan’s security and economic interests.
