Statement by NATO Secretary General

On behalf of the NATO Alliance, I express deep condolences to the Afghan people on the passing away of the Father of the Nation, Mohammed Zahir Shah. He symbolised the unity of a nation which the Afghan people, with our support, are rebuilding today. NATO will remain committed to helping achieve that vision.
