- 8 Dec 2010 2:00 AM
"While the Embassy will not comment or speculate on the content of the alleged cables made public by Wikileaks, it is important to reiterate the great respect the United States has for the positive and productive role being played by the Hungarian Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Afghanistan's Baghlan province.
This PRT is an essential component of NATO's overall effort to lay the foundation for long-term security, stability and prosperity in an Afghanistan that is respectful of human rights and that will never again become a safe haven for terrorists and terrorism.
Through its leadership of this PRT, at this location, Hungary is admirably contributing to the success of the ISAF mission. Its civic action and infrastructure projects continue to make a difference on the ground.
The soldiers who make up the Hungarian PRT and those serving elsewhere in Afghanistan are well-trained and brave.
We salute their efforts."
