Our primary aim is the restoration of peace and, if not stability, an acceptable political equilibrium. Even if we did not incur the same costs as the US over the past decade – the hundreds of billions of dollars spent, and the many young people killed or injured – we have paid the price that regional uncertainty always imposes: lost trade, lost growth, refugees, and violence.
那么，这对于阿富汗邻邦来说意味着什么。深深的忧虑。我们的首要目标是重塑和平以及可接受的政治均衡（如果不是稳定的话）。即使我们不致于承担美国在过去十年中的成本——数千亿美元加上无数年轻人的死伤——我们也要付出地区不确定性不可避免的代价：失去的贸易、失去的增长、难民，以及暴力。
