He also said he is looking forward to his work in the partnership when the country is moving to a new period of its development. He added the United Nations will always stand by and is ready to help the country.

The UN has been providing assistance in Afghanistan for more than half a century. The world body is currently examining how it can best help the country as it proceeds with the transfer of security responsibilities and takes greater ownership of its development.

UNAMA is mandated to assist and support the government of Afghanistan in its state-building and development efforts.

Mr. Kubis succeeds Staffan de Mistura, who headed UNAMA from March 2010 through December 2011.

Mr. Kubis served as Executive Secretary of the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
