The Center's activities are also potentially a vital complement to the international community's efforts to establish peace and security in Afghanistan. -- We offer the Special Representative our full support as he continues to implement his mandate. We encourage him in particular to move forward in his efforts to consult on regional water disputes and to encourage leaders in the region to intensify their counter-narcotics cooperation areas where we see the coordinating and facilitating role of the Center as being especially beneficial.
