Afghanistan

His Excellency Ashraf Ghani 

Statement Summary

ASHRAF GHANI, President of Afghanistan, said his country sits at the heart of untapped potential, peace and prosperity, but is also a victim of turmoil.  The COVID?19 pandemic exposed the world’s vulnerabilities as violence and warfare have evolved, he noted, adding that the world is in the middle of a fifth wave of global terrorism.  Other drivers of turmoil include drought, famine and deepening inequality, he said, emphasizing the urgent need for a ceasefire in Afghanistan and calling on the General Assembly to help achieve a peace there.  A democratically stable and prosperous Afghanistan would be an example of how collective will can overcome even the most serious challenges, he said.
