US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called interim Kyrgyz leader Roza Otun-baye-va after Bishkek announced it would close a Key US military base in the country.

"Secretary Clinton spoke to Ms. Roza Otun-baye-va to support the efforts of the Kyrgyz administration to resolve peacefully Kyrgyzstan's current political problems," AFP quoted US spokesman P.J. Crowley as saying.

Clinton spoke about "the important role Kyrgyzstan plays in hosting the Transit Center at the Manas Airport," Crowley said on Saturday.

He added that Otun-baye-va confirmed the Kyrgyz administration would abide by previous agreements regarding the Center.

According to the spokesman, Clinton will send Assistant Secretary Robert Blake to visit Kyrgyzstan to follow up on her discussion.

On Saturday, the US stopped all troop flights to Afghanistan from its controversial air base in Kyrgyzstan, a day after the country's new leadership said it would shorten Pentagon's lease on the Manas military base near the capital.
