Lavrov: Deployment of NATO Military Infrastructure in Afghanistan Is Unacceptable

Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, said at the “Moscow Format” meeting that the deployment of NATO military infrastructure in Afghanistan and neighboring countries, under any pretext, is unacceptable.

Lavrov said on Monday in his opening remarks at the eighth “Moscow Format” meeting on Afghanistan that the experience of past decades has shown that foreign military presence in Afghanistan has led to instability and increased conflict.

He stressed that Moscow opposes the deployment of NATO military infrastructure in Afghanistan and neighboring countries, and said that in recent decades, Russia has seen no other outcome from foreign military presence in Afghanistan.
