U.S. has no plans for military base in Slovakia:ambassador

Xinhua, April 12, 2017 Adjust font size:

The United States hasn't any plans for building a NATO military base in Slovakia. U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia Adam Sterling announced during a discussion on local media on Wednesday.

"The particular story that got attention recently had to do with the possibility that there will be U.S. money available to upgrade Slovak military airfields, for example in Sliac in the central Slovakia," stressed Sterling.

Slovakia isn't home to any U.S. or NATO military base, he said.

"Slovakia has its own bases on its territory and they contribute to the alliance which we are both part of," said the ambassador. Endit
