Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to all of you.
I'll go directly to the question. We're very pleased to have you here, and especially Mr. Jackson, from the Californian university. I think it's great.
We all know that this war cannot be won. It's not a conventional war, and to succeed in the field of development, Afghanistan needs proper, competent security and diplomacy. My question is for Ambassador Heinbecker and also for Mr. Jackson and all the panel.
As a former ambassador to the UN, you talk a lot about diplomacy, but in your opinion, first, what's the actual role that the United Nations plays? I don't feel they play any role right now. I think they lost any role. What should the UN do from a diplomatic point of view to improve this situation?
