Colonel Tommy further said about 200 Swedish soldiers would be stationed in the new base, which was being constructed under the supervision of three Swedish and some Afghan engineers.
Referring to attacks on ISAF in the province, he said some previous incidents had intensified the need for strict security measures on part of the peacekeepers as well as the Afghan forces.
At least three Swedish soldiers were killed when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle in the Shadian desert of the province. Several other attacks were also registered on foreign forces in the past few months.
