Afghan minister at UN Assembly lauds country's achievements, vows international cooperation

New York, Sept 28 (IBNS) Ahead of Monday's presidential swearing-in, the Afghan Foreign Minister on Saturday outlined his country's achievements in the past year as Afghanistan is on the eve of a "transformative decade" with the transfer of security responsibilities from an international coalition force to the Afghan community by the end of this year.

Foreign Minister Zarar Ahmad Osmani, delivering his country’s annual address to the Assembly, praised Afghanistan for its “credible political institutions, and elected parliament, a constitution and elected provincial council, supported by the brave Afghan National Security Forces.”

Osmani said that Afghanistan had achieved a “significant milestone” with the conclusion of the presidential election which put Ashraf Ghani at the country’s helm and Abdullah Abdullah in the role of Chief Executive Officer.

The country now looks forward to continued mutual cooperation with the international community to protect its achievements and ensure the sustainability of a strong partnership.

Afghanistan was one of the first countries to join the United Nations, and UN agencies have been involved in the region for decades.

Since 2002, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), at the request of the Government, has been assisting the Government and people of Afghanistan in laying the foundations for sustainable peace and development in the country.
