Topographic groups from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan recently met in Buston, Sughd Region, to discuss legal matters regarding the demarcation of their shared border. According to the Tajik State Committee for National Security, the groups successfully agreed on an additional 10.76 km of the Tajik-Kyrgyz state border.
A corresponding protocol was signed as a result of the meetings. The parties have committed to continue their work on describing the remaining sections at the next meeting, which will take place in Kyrgyzstan.
Over the past few months, authorities from both Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have been actively negotiating to reach an agreement on their border. In February, Tajikistan's President Emomali Rahmon informed the Kyrgyz Foreign Minister, Jeenbek Kulubaev, that the two countries had already agreed on the delineation of 196 kilometers of the border.
The total length of the Kyrgyz-Tajik border is 972 kilometers, and it was previously stated that all border demarcation works between the two countries would be completed by March of this year. The meetings between the two sides are being held alternately on each other's territories.
