The border crisis between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan is over

All disputed sections of the Tajik-Kyrgyz border have been fully delimited and demarcated.

On December 4, 2024, a meeting of the co-chairs of the government delegations of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan on the delimitation and demarcation of the state border, Saymumin Yatimov and Kamchybek Tashiev, took place in the city of Batken.

At this meeting, the government delegations of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan “fully” completed the description of the remaining sections of the Tajik-Kyrgyz state border. This was reported by the heads of the State National Security Committee of both countries, Saymumin Yatimov and Kamchybek Tashiev.

In particular, Yatimov noted that the description of the remaining sections of the Tajik-Kyrgyz state border has been fully completed.

According to him, the working groups of the government delegations of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan on the delimitation and demarcation of the Tajik-Kyrgyz state border have been instructed to begin the process of formalizing the final delimitation documents.

The head of the State National Security Committee of Kyrgyzstan, Kamchybek Tashiev, called this day “historic.”

According to him, what remains is “legal formalization, ratification through the parliaments, and signing of documents by the presidents of the countries.”

He stated that this will take several more months.

Details of the state border line are unknown. Neither Yatimov nor Tashiev specified which sections have been assigned to either side.
