i am very grateful that the united states of america are supporting the nato mission. this in many ways is also a joint european-american effort, a transatlantic mission. we can say that all of our security issues on the doorstep of europe can only be tackled by joint transatlantic efforts. only in this way can our common security be insured. this also means that a european agreement as necessary, a german agreement is necessary in many of these issues, and i think germany has demonstrated that we are willing to make this effort to go the extra mile. be it in iraq fighting example,, be it, for in the way that we have become engaged in mali. we talked about afghanistan and afghanistan, too, needs to be kept on a track which is promising for the afghani people. we are ready and willing to be voluntarily engaged and continue to be militarily engaged. we are grateful for the united states of america for the responsibility you continue to show. i think the message that the taliban needs to be the international community will not leave afghanistan and this current predicament
