Amid Bagram Demand, India Opposes Foreign Military Infrastructure In Afghanistan
India, alongside Russia and China, has opposed the establishment of foreign military bases in Afghanistan amid Donald Trump's demand for the Bagram airbase to be handed over to the U.S.
- On Tuesday, India joined a coalition of nine nations, including Russia and China, opposing foreign military infrastructure in Afghanistan following U.S. President Donald Trump's request for the Bagram airbase.
- The Bagram airbase, a strategic military installation in Afghanistan, has been a focal point in U.S. military operations and is now under scrutiny amid shifting geopolitical interests.
- India's stance reflects broader regional concerns over security dynamics in Afghanistan, particularly in relation to Pakistan and Iran's influence, as well as Russia and China's growing involvement.
Why It Matters
This opposition highlights the complex geopolitical landscape in Afghanistan, where external military presence could exacerbate tensions. India's involvement signals its strategic interests in countering Pakistan and maintaining stability amidst growing Chinese influence in the region.
