FO rejects speculations over presence of US military, air base inside Pakistan

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The Foreign Office spokesperson Monday outrightly rejected certain speculations about presence of US military or air base inside Pakistan and said that such baseless and irresponsible speculations must be avoided.

Responding to media queries, the spokesperson in a press release said “There was no US military or air base in Pakistan, nor was any such proposal envisaged. Any speculation on this account was baseless and irresponsible and should be avoided”.
