KYRGYZSTAN'S interim leader said yesterday that her government will extend the lease of a United States air base key to the war in Afghanistan.
Roza Otunbayeva said the agreement allowing the US to use the Manas air base will be prolonged after the current one-year deal expires in July.
"It will be automatically extended," she said, without specifying how long the extension would last.
The US base, at the capital's international airport, provides refueling flights for warplanes over Afghanistan and serves as a major transit hub for troops.
