But they acknowledged significant challenges remain. That sentiment was shared by NATO's Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in his remarks to the ministers.
北约各国的国防部长们结束了在布鲁塞尔举行的两天会议。他们在会议结束时发表声明说，阿富汗的军事行动正在取得适度进展，但是他们承认依然存在重大挑战。北约秘书长拉斯穆森在他对部长们的讲话中也表达了这种情绪。
"We expect, the Afghan people expect and our populations expect, to see progress. We're only halfway through this year, but progress is visible - political and military progress," Rasmussen said.
拉斯穆森说：“我们期待，阿富汗人民期待，北约国家的人民也都期待看到进展。我们今年的行动才只开展了半年，但已经可以看到政治和军事方面的成果。”
