After years of bullets and bombs, the Kabul Zoo in Afghanistan lies in ruins, its few remaining animals scarred by civil war and torment. The only elephant was killed by a rocket. The sole lion has one eye; its other was lost in a grenade attack. The Afghan bear has a blistering sore on its nose from a beating. The zoo grounds are a mess: The bars of the cages are twisted; fresh water and electricity are rare commodities; and medical treatment for the creatures is all but nonexistent.

Afghanistan and her immediate neighbours signed a Good Neighbourly Relations Declaration in December 2002. Regional economic cooperation was given another boost at a conference held in Kabul in December 2005, jointly co-chaired by Afghanistan and the UK (in its capacity as G8 chair). The conference resulted in a Kabul Declaration, which set out areas for future regional activity and a process for carrying this forward. Along with the UN, European Union and the international community, the UK is closely engaged in assisting Afghanistan in its reconstruction efforts.
