Norway positive to new US strategy for Afghanistan
Norge positive til USAs nye Afghanistan-strategi
The strategy means that the US will send a further 30 000 troops to Afghanistan, in addition to significantly increasing its civilian efforts.
Strategien innebærer at USA vil sende ytterligere 30.000 soldater til Afghanistan i tillegg til betydelig økte sivile bidrag.
In his speech, President Obama underlined that the Afghan authorities must gradually take over responsibility for development and security in the country, and that the US involvement is not open-ended.
President Obama understreket i talen at afghanske myndigheter gradvis skal overta ansvaret for utvikling og sikkerhet i landet og at det amerikanske engasjementet ikke er uten tidsbegrensninger.
This requires the continued presence and active involvement of the international community, both in civilian and military terms.
Det krever fortsatt nærvær og aktiv oppfølging fra det internasjonale samfunn, både sivilt og militært.
The intensified US efforts will be important for implementing the mandate the UN Security Council has been given for Afghanistan” Mr Støre commented.
Den amerikanske satsningen vil være viktig for å gjennomføre det mandatet som FNs sikkerhetsråd har gitt for Afghanistan, sier utenriksminister Støre.
“The course that President Obama is now staking out is the result of a thorough process.
- En grundig prosess ligger til grunn for den kursen president Obama nå staker ut.
Norway values the close consultations between the US and its allies and other ISAF partners.
Norge verdsetter de nære konsultasjoner USA har med allierte og andre Isaf-partnere.
The strategy highlights the need to implement measures that can help strengthen the ability and capacity of the Afghan authorities to fulfil their own responsibilities, both with regard to security and development,” Mr Støre said.
Strategien understreker behovet for å satse på tiltak som kan bidra til å styrke afghanske myndigheters kapasitet og evne til å ivareta egne oppgaver, både når det gjelder sikkerhet og utvikling, sier Støre.
“We are pleased that the US intends to place greater emphasis on protecting the civilian population and on civilian capacity-building.
- Vi er tilfredse med at USA vil legge økt vekt på beskyttelse av sivilbefolkningen og sivil kapasitetsbygging.
It is capacity-building of this kind that can pave the way for a gradual scaling down of the international military presence in the country.
Det er slik kapasitetsbygging som kan åpne for en gradvis nedtrapping av det internasjonale militære nærværet i landet.
This is an approach that we have also prioritised in Norway’s efforts in Afghanistan,” Mr Støre commented.
Dette er en tilnærming vi også har prioritert i den norske innsatsen i Afghanistan, sier Støre.
“Close cooperation and coordination between the international community and the Afghan authorities will be required.
- Det vil kreve tett samarbeid og samordning mellom det internasjonale samfunn og afghanske myndigheter.
I note that President Obama is expressing clear expectations of this kind of the Afghan Government, and that he opens the way for reconsidering assistance to the country in the light of Afghan performance,” the Foreign Minister said.
Jeg merker meg at president Obama stiller slike klare forventninger til den afghanske regjeringen og at han åpner for at støtten vil vurderes i lys av afghansk oppfølging, sier utenriksministeren.
“For its part, the international community must become far better at coordinating its civilian efforts, and at aligning aid and assistance with Afghan priorities.
- Det internasjonale samfunn må på sin side bli vesentlig bedre til å samordne sin sivile innsats og bedre innrette bistand og assistanse i trår med afghanske prioriteringer.
We agree with President Obama on the significance of close cooperation between the UN, other international partners and the Afghan people in order to pursue a more effective civilian strategy.
Vi er enige i president Obamas påpekning av betydningen av et nært samarbeid mellom FN, andre internasjonale samarbeidspartnere og Afghanistan for en mer effektiv sivil strategi.
A high-priority task in the weeks ahead will be to strengthen coordination mechanisms and ensure that international expertise is made available in the appropriate manner,” Mr Støre commented.
Det blir en prioritert oppgave i ukene som kommer å styrke samordningsmekanismene og sikre at internasjonal ekspertise blir gjort tilgjengelig på rett vis, sier Støre.
Norway’s considerable civilian and military involvement in Afghanistan will be continued.
Norges betydelige sivile og militære innsats i Afghanistan vil bli videreført.
In the period 2008–2012, Norway will annually provide NOK 750 million in assistance.
I perioden fra 2008 til 2012 vil Norge gi 750 millioner kroner i året i bistand til Afghanistan.
Norway has 515 troops in Afghanistan and is prepared to maintain its current level of participation in ISAF.
Norge har 515 styrker i Afghanistan og er innstilt på å videreføre vår deltakelse i ISAF på det nivå vi har nå.
