Officials under NATO’s authority are seeking Qatar’s permission to use a military base to train Afghan special forces following the US and NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan, Reuters reported.
"We are holding talks to earmark a base in Qatar to create an exclusive training ground for senior members of the Afghan forces," a senior Western security official in Kabul told Reuters.
