His presence there, I'm sure, will add to stability and peace in Afghanistan.

We hope that this signature will bring to Afghanistan the stability and peace that we needed for so many years. We also hope that the cooperation between the Afghan state and the international security force and the United Nations will bring to an absolute end the presence of terrorism and banditry in Afghanistan.
