The US says Kyrgyzstan’s interim leader has promised to honour key security agreements, days after she came to power following a bloody uprising.
US officials said Roza Otunbayeva had vowed not to interrupt operations from a military base the US uses to supply troops and supplies to Afghanistan.
The US stopped troop movements from the base, near the capital Bishkek, last week during an anti-government revolt.
Protesters overthrew the president last week but dozens died in the uprising.
