西斯先生（塞内加尔）（以英语发言）：塞内加尔欢迎举行本次辩论会，我们高兴地看到麦卡利部长亲自与会。本次辩论会是在审议秘书长关于阿富汗局势及其对国际和平与安全的影响的报告（S/2016/768）的框架内举行的，为我们提供了一个新的机会来审议阿富汗局势，这一局势比以往更加令人担忧。在这方面，我还要感谢负责阿富汗问题的秘书长特别代表兼联合国阿富汗援助团（联阿援助团）团长山本忠通先生作了杰出的通报。我还要借此机会祝愿他履行新的职务圆满成功。当然，他能够指望得到塞内加尔代表团的全力支持。
Mr. Ciss (Senegal) (spoke in French): Senegal welcomes the holding of this debate and we are pleased to see Minister McCully participate in it personally. This debate, taking place in the context of the consideration of the Secretary-General’s report (S/2016/768) on the situation in Afghanistan and its implications for international peace security, affords us a new opportunity to look into the situation in Afghanistan, which is more worrying than ever. In that regard, I would like to thank Mr. Tadamichi Yamamoto, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), for this excellent briefing. I also take this opportunity to wish him every success in his new duties. Of course, he will be able to count on the full support of the delegation of Senegal.
