Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on June 18, stated that Pakistan will not give its bases to the United States (US) for operations in Afghanistan after the latter's troops' withdrawal, reports Geo TV. In an interview with Jonathan Swan of HBO Axios, which will be aired June 21 3:00am PST, the PM reiterated Pakistan’s stance on the use of military bases and categorically stated that Islamabad will not allow it. The PM was again asked by the US media for his comments on giving access to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to military bases. “Will you allow the American government to have the CIA here in Pakistan to conduct cross border counter-terrorism missions against Al Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban?” Swan asked the premier. “Absolutely not,” PM Imran Khan responded. “There’s no way we're going to allow any bases or any sort of action from Pakistani territory into Afghanistan. Absolutely not.”
