The US was supposed to lose its air base in Kyrgyzstan, useful for delivery for military operations in Afghanistan, but now a new deal has been signed. It still requires the approval of Kyrgyzstan's parliament.
A government source told Reuters earlier on Tuesday that under the new deal, annual rent for using Manas will increase to $60 million from $17.4 million.
Manas is home to about 1,000 U.S. personnel and serves as a key refuelling point for aircraft used in military operations in nearby Afghanistan.
