NEW DELHI: A top US air force official's remarks that his country is planning to station a military aircraft in Thiruvananthapuram as part of its policy of encircling China with defence bases has created flutters here and the government has dismissed any such possibility.

General Herbert 'Hawk' Carlisle, the commander of the US air force assets in the Pacific, had told reporters at a breakfast meeting recently that the American air force was planning to expand its presence in Asia as part of the "pivot to Asia" policy. The idea behind it is to ring China with US and allied forces.

"This is just the start of the air force's plan to expand its presence in Asia. In addition to the Australian deployments, the air force will be sending jets to Changi East airbase in Singapore, Korat airbase in Thailand, Trivandrum in India, and possibly bases at Kubi Point and Puerto Princesa in the Philippines and airfields in Indonesia and Malaysia," he was quoted as saying by Foreign Policy magazine and other media outlets.

General Carlisle said "we are not gonna build any more bases in the Pacific to support the US air force's increased presence there." The US air force has nine major bases in different countries.
