According to TASS, citing the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, in March representatives of the two countries will hold another round of negotiations on the delimitation and demarcation of the Tajik-Kyrgyz state border.

“The government delegation of the Kyrgyz Republic will hold a meeting in Dushanbe with their Tajik counterparts from March 10 to 16, 2023, during which they will discuss the delimitation and demarcation of the common section of the state border,” the statement notes.

So far, the official press of Tajikistan has not reported anything about this.

It was previously reported that on February 9, another meeting of the topographic working groups and legal working groups of the government delegations of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan on the delimitation and demarcation of the Tajik-Kyrgyz state border took place. Typically, the authorities of Tajikistan refrain from disclosing details of these meetings to the public, stating only that “relevant protocols have been signed.”

The length of the state border between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan is approximately 980 km. Negotiations on its delimitation have been ongoing since December 2002. Since 2017, Dushanbe and Bishkek have significantly intensified this process. Currently, 602.5 km of the Tajik-Kyrgyz border have been delimited and demarcated. The remaining sections are considered disputed.
