Taliban denies information about transfer of Bagram base in Afghanistan to China

MOSCOW (TASS): The official representative of the Qatari political office of the Taliban movement (banned in the Russian Federation) Mohammad Sohail Shahin denied media reports about the possible transfer of the former US Air Force base Bagram in Afghanistan to China.

“This is a lie,” he told reporters on Wednesday.

The Indian newspaper Pioneer  , citing sources, said on Monday that the Taliban could transfer the Afghan Bagram airbase to China and allow Pakistan to use the airfield in Kandahar for its operational purposes. The newspaper’s sources indicated that Pakistani Air Force specialists are currently inspecting all five air bases in Afghanistan, including airfields in Kandahar, Bagram and Kabul, and a Chinese delegation met with Taliban senior leadership to discuss security-related issues, including, allegedly concerning the possible use of the base at Bagram. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin denied this information at a regular press conference on Tuesday.
