On the 10th of March 2017, the UN Security Council meeting on the situation in Afghanistan was held at the UN headquarters in New York, which was attended by the Kazakh delegation, the RoK MFA press service reported.
In his speech, Kairat UMAROV, the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the United Nations, stressed that the situation in Afghanistan remains unstable due to the instability and high risk of terrorist acts, and also due to the growth of illicit drug production and trafficking, which may have negative consequences for the entire Central Asian region. Mr. K. Umarov highly appreciated the work of the United Nations Mission in assisting Afghanistan, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Central Asian Regional Information and Coordination Center for Combating Illicit Trafficking of Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and their Precursors (CARICC) located in Almaty.
The Kazakh delegation stressing the inextricable link between security and development issues, drew the attention of the members of the Security Council to the initiatives of President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Nursultan NAZARBAYEV, to assist Afghanistan and strengthen the regional and global security architecture.
The diplomats proposed to carefully review the project of establishing a regional UN Center in Almaty on the basis of existing international structures, which could coordinate the rendering of comprehensive assistance to Afghanistan and Central Asian region countries.
