They have to realise that if they do not show such willingness, this will undermine our ability and willingness to help them and to succeed.
De må forstå at dersom de ikke viser en slik vilje, så vil det svekke vår egen evne og vilje til å hjelpe og til å lykkes.
It is encouraging that the new directorate for local governance seems to be addressing the problem of corruption.
Det er oppmuntrende at det nye direktoratet for lokalt styresett ser ut til å ta tak i dette korrupsjonsproblemet.
But these efforts will only be successful if the authorities at the highest level demonstrate their full support.
Men innsatsen vil bare lykkes dersom de øverste myndighetene viser at arbeidet har deres fulle støtte.
President Karzai assured me that this would be the case when I met him during my visit to Kabul.
Det forsikret president Karzai meg om under besøket i Kabul.
We will follow this situation closely.
Vi vil følge opp dette tilsagnet nøye.
The police and the judiciary have a key role to play in this respect.
I denne sammenheng spiller politi- og rettsvesen en sentral rolle.
And it is perhaps here that most remains to be done by both the Afghans and the international community.
Og det er kanskje her det gjenstår mest både i den afghanske og internasjonale innsatsen.
Since 2003/2004, Norway has provided personnel from the police and the judiciary in connection with competence-building and efforts to strengthen the rule of law in the country.
Norge har siden 2003/2004 hatt personell fra politiet og justissektoren i Afghanistan som bistår med kompetanseoppbygging for å styrke rettsstatsutviklingen i landet.
These efforts will be continued.
Denne innsatsen vil bli videreført.
The Crisis Response Pool assists the Central Narcotics Tribunal in Kabul and has also provided prison advisers, who are helping to improve prison conditions in Meymaneh.
Styrkebrønnen bistår spesialgruppen/domstolen for narkotikasaker i Kabul og har i tillegg fengselsrådgivere som bidrar til forbedringer ved fengslene i Meymaneh.
The police project NORAF, which was established in 2003, is an important element in this area of the Norwegian civilian efforts in Afghanistan.
Et vesentlig ledd i denne delen av den norske sivile innsatsen i Afghanistan er politiprosjektet Noraf som ble etablert i 2003.
A total of 18 police officers are now posted in Kabul and Meymaneh, with the main objective of building up a civilian Afghan police force.
I alt 18 tjenestemenn er nå stasjonert i Kabul og Meymaneh og hovedsatsingsfeltet er assistanse til oppbygging av et sivilt afghansk politi.
We are also aiming to phase Norwegian police officers into the EU’s police mission in Afghanistan, which is currently being established.
Det tas også sikte på å fase inn norske polititjenestemenn i EUs politioperasjon, som er under oppbygging.
Good governance includes ensuring economic growth and social cohesion.
Godt styresett handler også om å få til økonomisk vekst og god, sosial fordeling.
Afghanistan has oil and gas resources, but experience from too many countries has shown that poor management of natural resources leads to conflict and prevents the population from benefiting.
Afghanistan har olje- og gassressurser – men erfaringer fra altfor mange land er at dårlig forvaltning av naturressurser fører til konflikter og kommer ikke befolkningen til gode.
Therefore, Norway has entered into cooperation with the Afghan authorities on the establishment of a sound framework for the management of the oil and gas sector.
Derfor har Norge innledet et samarbeid med afghanske myndigheter for å etablere rammer for en god forvaltning innenfor olje- og gassektoren.
This will involve drawing up legislation and transferring expertise to the authorities and the private sector.
Det handler om å etablere et lovverk og om overføring av kompetanse til myndigheter og privat sektor.
President Karzai and other Afghan authorities give high priority to the sound national management of the country’s resources, and our efforts are therefore highly appreciated.
Dette er et arbeid som verdsettes høyt av president Karzai og andre afghanske myndigheter, som ønsker å sikre en forsvarlig nasjonal forvaltning av ressursene.
Competence-building is not just a question of strengthening the authorities’ ability to provide services and security.
Men kompetansebygging dreier seg ikke bare om å styrke myndighetenes evne til å levere tjenester og sikkerhet.
It is also a question of developing civil society.
Det dreier seg også om å støtte det sivile samfunn.
Critical voices and campaigners for human rights and gender equality are needed.
Myndighetene trenger kritiske stemmer og pådrivere for å styrke respekt for menneskerettigheter og likestilling.
The Afghan people also need channels for civic participation.
Og befolkningen trenger kanaler for deltakelse.
Norway is therefore providing support for the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC), which is doing important work in reporting on the human rights situation in the country and protecting these rights.
Derfor gir Norge støtte blant annet til den afghanske, uavhengige menneskerettighetskommisjonen (AIHRC) som gjør en betydelig innsats for å rapportere om og beskytte menneskerettighetene i landet.
Afghanisation is a key word in Norwegian policy, and it is gradually becoming a key word in discussions in both NATO and the UN, including in discussions on security, good governance and development.
Afghanisering er stikkord for norsk politikk – og gradvis et stikkord for diskusjonene både i Nato og i FN – både når det gjelder sikkerhet, styresett og utvikling.
We must do our utmost to understand the Afghan people’s own perspectives.
Vi må gjøre vårt beste for å sette oss inn i afghanernes egne perspektiver.
We must try to see the challenges from the point of view of Kabul, not Oslo.
Vi må forsøke å se utfordringene fra Kabul og ikke fra Oslo.
We intend to play a role in both these connections.
Vi ønsker å spille en rolle i begge disse sammenhengene.
But our main emphasis will be on strengthening the internal political processes within the country, forging bonds of loyalty between the central authorities and the local communities, encouraging pluralism and strengthening the political reconciliation process.
Men hovedvekten vil ligge i å styrke de politiske prosessene innad i landet, i å bygge opp lojaliteten mellom sentrale myndigheter og lokalsamfunn, i å bidra til pluralisme, og i å styrke den politiske forsoningsprosessen.
The regional perspective is vital for stability and growth.
Det regionale perspektivet er avgjørende for mulighetene til å få til stabilitet og vekst.
Relations with Pakistan are a crucial factor.
Forholdet til Pakistan står sentralt.
We must help to foster recognition of the close links between stability in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Vi må bidra til å styrke forståelsen av at stabiliteten i Afghanistan og Pakistan henger sammen.
These two countries have a strong common interest in combating extremist groups in the border areas.
De to landene har en sterk felles interesse i å bekjempe ekstremistiske bevegelser i grenseområdene.
I have the distinct impression that there is growing understanding of this fact.
Det er mitt klare inntrykk at forståelsen for dette er økende.
The dialogue with Iran and other central Asian countries also needs to be strengthened.
Samtidig må dialogen med Iran og de sentralasiatiske landene styrkes.
Instability in Afghanistan should not be in Iran’s interests, and a stronger Taliban should be even less so.
Iran bør ikke ha interesse av et ustabilt Afghanistan – og i særdeleshet ikke av en styrket Taliban-bevegelse.
Today, most of the drugs exports pass across Afghanistan’s relatively open southern borders into Iran and Pakistan.
Det aller meste av narkotikaeksporten går i dag gjennom ganske åpne grenser i sør, mellom Afghanistan på den ene siden og Iran og Pakistan på den andre.
A clear Iranian policy is therefore important.
Derfor er også en entydig iransk politikk viktig.
We must all – both Iran and the West – seek to ensure that the dialogue on and with Afghanistan is not undermined by the dispute about the Iranian nuclear programme.
Vi må unngå – både fra iransk og vestlig side – at dialogen om og med Afghanistan forstyrres av striden omkring det iranske atomprogrammet.
In the longer term, closer regional cooperation will also be important for economic growth in the region.
På lengre sikt er også et nærmere regionalt samarbeid viktig for regionens økonomiske vekst.
A stable Afghanistan will make it possible to develop roads and energy pipelines that benefit the whole region.
Et stabilt Afghanistan vil gjøre det mulig å bygge ut veier og energirørledninger som vil komme hele regionen til gode.
The international community’s efforts have for a long time been too fragmented.
Det internasjonale samfunnets innsats har lenge vært for fragmentert.
Resources have not been used effectively enough, and time has been wasted.
Ressurser er ikke godt nok utnyttet og tid er gått tapt.
Therefore Norway has taken on a leading role in the efforts to improve the coordination of international efforts under Afghan leadership.
Derfor har Norge påtatt seg en lederrolle i arbeidet med å fremme bedre koordinert innsats under afghansk ledelse.
Therefore we have requested that the UN’s coordinating role is strengthened.
Derfor har vi bedt om at FN må styrke sin innsats som koordinerende organ.
Therefore we have taken the initiative to establish a UN special envoy position with a broad mandate to coordinate the efforts of the international community and liaise with the President on behalf of the international community.
Derfor tok Norge initiativ til å opprette en FN-stilling som spesialutsending med utvidede fullmakter til å koordinere det internasjonale samfunn og være presidentens samtalepartner på vegne av det internasjonale samfunn.
Today there is growing agreement on the need for a more coordinated and better integrated approach.
Det er i dag voksende enighet om behovet for en mer koordinert og helhetlig tilnærming.
However, those who advocate coordination must also be willing to be coordinated themselves.
Men de som tar til orde for koordinering, må også si seg villige til å bli koordinert.
We must coordinate our efforts within the broader international community from a national, Afghan perspective.
Vi må koordinere vår innsats innenfor det bredere internasjonale fellesskapet i et nasjonalt, afghansk perspektiv.
But we must also coordinate efforts among smaller groups of countries where appropriate.
Men vi må også koordinere vår innsats blant mindre grupper av land der det er naturlig.
Since my most recent visit to Afghanistan, I have advocated closer cooperation between the Nordic countries, both in the north of the country, where four Nordic countries are represented, and in other parts of the country.
Det gjelder i nord, hvor fire av de nordiske landene er representert, men det gjelder også i andre deler av landet.
In my view, it is particularly important that the people in neighbouring provinces see that efforts in one province are not markedly different from the assistance provided in another.
Jeg ser det som særlig viktig at befolkningen i naboprovinser oppfatter at innsatsen i den ene provinsen ikke skiller seg vesentlig fra hva som ytes i den andre.
We should therefore consider whether it is possible to achieve a distribution of tasks that would ensure parallel development in the provinces where we are focusing most of our effort.
Derfor bør vi vurdere om en arbeidsfordeling er mulig, som kan sørge for en parallell utvikling i de provinsene hvor vi har vårt viktigste engasjement.
But there should also be opportunity for closer Nordic cooperation, for example on good governance projects, which is an area were we have a like-minded approach.
Men det bør også være rom for en bedre nordisk samordning om blant annet styresettprosjekter der de nordiske landene tenker likt.
We pushed this issue forward at the meeting of Nordic political directors in Oslo last Wednesday with a view to presenting concrete proposals at political level within a short period of time.
Under et nordisk møte i Oslo forrige onsdag forserte vi dette arbeidet med sikte på at vi på politisk nivå skal få fremlagt konkrete forslag innen kort tid.
Allow me to summarise.
La meg oppsummere:
The purpose of our military presence in Afghanistan through ISAF is to safeguard security in the country.
Vi er til stede militært gjennom Isaf for å trygge sikkerheten i Afghanistan.
We must ensure that Afghanistan does not once again become a hotbed of international terrorism.
Vi må sikre at Afghanistan ikke på ny blir et arnested for internasjonal terror.
Afghanisation is a key word in our efforts.
Afghanisering er et viktig stikkord for vår innsats.
Afghans must be enabled to safeguard their own security and govern their country.
Afghanere må bli i stand til å trygge sikkerheten og til å styre Afghanistan.
We must accept that they will do so according to traditions that may differ from our own.
Vi må ta høyde for at det vil bli etter tradisjoner som kan skille seg fra våre.
With the security we are providing through our participation in ISAF as a starting point, we are intensifying our development cooperation efforts and providing humanitarian assistance with a view to building up basic services such as education and health.
Med utgangspunkt i at vi bidrar til sikkerheten gjennom vår deltakelse i Isaf, styrker vi utviklingssamarbeidet og bidrar med humanitær bistand, til oppbygging av grunnleggende tjenester som utdannings- og helsevesen.
In order to enable the Afghan authorities to provide these services themselves, we are building Afghan institutions that can give the Government a stronger foothold.
For at afghanske myndigheter selv skal kunne levere disse tjenestene, bygger vi afghanske institusjoner som kan gi regjeringen bredere fotfeste.
To create a more unified nation, we are supporting a policy of reconciliation that offers those who renounce violence an opportunity to take part in rebuilding the country.
For å binde landet sammen støtter vi en forsoningspolitikk, som kan tilby dem som gir opp sin motstand en anledning til å være med å bygge opp landet.
And to help to ensure that the whole international community takes an integrated approach that ensures Afghan ownership, we are seeking to strengthen international coordination under Afghan leadership.
For å bidra til at hele det internasjonale samfunn opptrer samlet og gir afghanerne selv ledelsen, arbeider vi for en styrket internasjonal koordinering under afghansk lederskap.
Together, these various elements form an integrated strategy and a coordinated plan.
Til sammen utgjør disse elementene en helhetlig strategi og en samordnet plan.
This is not a question of choosing the political, humanitarian or civilian dimension instead of the military dimension.
Det dreier seg ikke om å velge den politiske, sivile eller humanitære dimensjonen i stedet for den militære.
It is a question of finding the right balance between the various components.
Det dreier seg om å finne den riktige balansen mellom de ulike komponentene.
Our task today is to focus on the political challenges.
I dag er oppgaven å fremheve de politiske utfordringene.
And the Government intends to do its part in this respect.
Det vil Regjeringen bidra til.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation to all the Norwegian women and men who are engaged in Afghanistan, through our military contribution, through our foreign service, in the justice and police sector, in connection with development efforts and through humanitarian organisations.
La meg til slutt benytte anledningen til å uttrykke vår store anerkjennelse for alle de norske kvinner og menn som er engasjert i Afghanistan – gjennom vårt militære bidrag, gjennom utenrikstjenesten, i justis- og politisektoren, utviklingsinnsatsen og i humanitære organisasjoner.
The work they are doing is demanding and entails a high level of risk.
Innsatsen er krevende og medfører høy risiko.
They therefore deserve our undivided support.
Derfor fortjener de vår samlede støtte.
