On February 9, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan reported that a regular meeting of the topographic working groups and legal working groups of the governmental delegations of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan on the delimitation and demarcation of the Tajik-Kyrgyz state border took place.

It was reported that the meeting of the topographic groups of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan took place in the city of Bishkek in accordance with an agreement reached through diplomatic channels from February 6 to 9, 2023.

“As a result of the meeting, the relevant protocols were signed. The meeting was held in an atmosphere of friendship and mutual understanding,” the statement noted.

The next meeting of the working groups will take place on the territory of Tajikistan.

Conflicts at the Tajik-Kyrgyz border between border residents have intensified in recent years. Several armed clashes have occurred in the past few years, resulting in the deaths of dozens of residents and military personnel on both sides.

Recently, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have been improving their relations.

Earlier, on January 14, 2023, a telephone conversation took place between President Emomali Rahmon and President Sadyr Japarov, during which they noted the achievements in the development of interstate cooperation over the past three decades.

Also, at the end of January, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan confirmed that the situation is slightly improving and there is mutual understanding from both the Tajik and Kyrgyz sides.
