US Vice President Calls for More NATO Support in Afghanistan
切尼突访阿富汗强调北约部队重要
Mounting concern about the resurgent Taliban and the Afghanistan economy have prompted the U.S. vice president to make a surprise visit there. Dick Cheney is calling the continuing presence of NATO forces in Afghanistan vital for the country's future.
美国副总统切尼突然访问阿富汗，原因是对塔利班反叛分子和阿富汗经济日益增加的担忧。切尼说，北约军队继续在阿富汗驻扎对阿富汗的未来非常重要。
In an unannounced trip to Kabul, his fourth visit to Afghanistan as vice president, Dick Cheney is asking NATO countries to make an even stronger commitment to the war-ravaged country.
切尼对喀布尔的访问事先没有宣布。这是他作为副总统对阿富汗的第四次访问，切尼要求北约国家在战乱的阿富汗做出更大的努力。
NATO members are considering whether to send more troops to Afghanistan at a time when the anti-terrorism campaign is becoming more unpopular for European politicians. But the U.S. vice president says the United States and NATO need to maintain sufficient forces in Afghanistan to counter a resurgent Taliban and al-Qaida.
