United Nations, New York, 18 March 2010 - The time has come to transform the relationship between Afghanistan and its partners to enable greater responsibility on the part of Afghans themselves and an increasingly supporting role for the international community as the country strives to achieve peace and development, a senior United Nations official said today. Concrete steps must be taken by the international community to allow Afghans to be in charge of, and lead, processes while providing the capacity-building and support required for Afghan institutions to take on this role, including in civilian areas, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Alain Le Roy told a meeting of the Security Council.
