Meeting of the leaders of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan

The leaders of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan signed a number of documents and agreements.

On March 31 of this year, a meeting of the presidents of the three neighboring countries — Emomali Rahmon, Sadyr Japarov, and Shavkat Mirziyoyev — took place in the city of Khujand in the Sughd region of Tajikistan.

As a result of the trilateral negotiations, they signed an agreement on the junction point of the state borders of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, as well as the “Khujand Declaration on Eternal Friendship.” In addition, they participated in a remote ceremony to inaugurate a symbolic column at the junction of the borders of these three countries.

Tajikistan’s President Emomali Rahmon called the signing of this agreement “historic” and emphasized that “from today, the borders of the three countries will transform into borders of eternal friendship, genuinely good-neighborly relations, and constructive partnership.”

It is also reported that Rahmon held separate meetings with the leaders of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. During these meetings, he signed an agreement on “Allied Relations” with Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. With Kyrgyzstan’s President Sadyr Japarov, they launched the operation of the 500 kV power transmission line “Datka – Sogd.”

This line was built as part of the CASA-1000 project, which provides for the export of electricity from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

After the negotiations, the presidents of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan participated in the international celebration of Navruz at the “20th Anniversary of Tajikistan’s Independence” stadium, where they delivered speeches as part of a joint cultural program featuring artists from the three countries.

It is noted that Emomali Rahmon personally met and escorted Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Sadyr Japarov at the Khujand International Airport.
