Nato signs deal to move Afghan equipment via Central Asia
Nato has signed deals with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to use their territory for evacuating vehicles and military equipment from Afghanistan.
The agreement will allow the military alliance to bypass Pakistan, which has blocked Nato from using its territory in a disagreement over drone strikes.
Nato will begin pulling troops and equipment out of Afghanistan in earnest later this year.
This deal means it can return equipment to Europe overland via Russia.
