The US is “nearing” a formalised agreement with Pakistan which would allow Washington to use Pakistani airspace to conduct military and intelligence operations against Afghanistan, said a report by the CNN Saturday.
The report, citing three sources familiar with the details of a classified briefing held by US President Joe Biden with members of Congress, said Pakistan had expressed the desire to sign an MoU with the US government over the matter.
Islamabad, in exchange, wants assistance with its own counterterrorism efforts and help in managing the relationship with India, said a source.
