KABUL – Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the statement by the NATO Secretary General in France, emphasizing continued support to Afghanistan following the withdrawal of the NATO forces from Afghanistan.
We appreciate NATO’s statement reaffirming its support to Afghanistan on capacity building, support to the institutions, financial support, and training of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces and providing services for the functioning of Kabul airport. We consider NATO’s support commensurate with the needs of the ANSDF.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers it as a practical step at the beginning of a new chapter of cooperation between NATO and Afghanistan in the capacity development of the ANSDF to fight against terrorism and ensuring lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan and the region.
Expressing gratitude to NATO for continuing its pledges to Afghanistan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is ready to strive within the new chapter of cooperation to fight against common threats, terrorism, and violent extremism in Afghanistan, the region, and beyond, establishing an independent, sovereign, united, and peaceful Afghanistan based on democratic structures.
