In a statement as they wrapped up a two-day meeting in Brussels, NATO defense ministers described military operations in Afghanistan as making measured progress. 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。”
