Kabul, September 20 (Xinhua) — Senior Afghan Foreign Ministry diplomat Zakir Jalali criticized US President Donald Trump's recent statements about his intention to retake Afghanistan's Bagram Air Base, state-run Radio Television of Afghanistan (RTA) reported on Friday.
"Throughout their history, Afghans have never tolerated a foreign military presence on their soil. Afghanistan and America need to establish economic and political relations based on mutual respect and shared interests," state media quoted a senior Afghan official as saying.
D. Trump, who criticized his predecessor Joseph Biden for abandoning the Bagram Air Base during the US troop withdrawal in August 2021, told reporters in London on Thursday that he intends to regain control of it.
Bagram Air Base is located 50 kilometers north of Kabul. It served as the main military base for American troops in Afghanistan during the 20-year military presence of the US-led international coalition, which ended in August 2021, paving the way for the fall of the Western-backed regime and the rise of the current Afghan government.
