According to Kyrgyz media, the next round of negotiations between the delegations of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan began on October 5 in the city of Isfana, Kyrgyzstan, and concluded on October 9.

Kyrgyz media reports that the topographic groups of the governments of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan reached full mutual understanding on issues of delimitation and demarcation of the state border between the two countries. At the end of the meeting, a protocol was signed.

It is reported that as a result of the meeting, the parties also agreed to hold the next meeting of the topographic working groups on the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan.

However, it is not reported what specific results the working groups of the governments reached at this meeting. It is only noted that the delegations agreed to hold the next session in Tajikistan.

At the same time, Tajik media, especially state-owned ones, have not reported anything about this, and the details of the negotiations are still unknown.

It should be noted that Kyrgyzstan unilaterally closed its borders with Tajikistan after violent clashes at the end of April and announced that the country’s borders would remain closed to Tajiks until the border issue is resolved.

Representatives of the two countries have repeatedly met and held negotiations at various levels to resolve conflicts and demarcate state borders. However, consensus has not yet been reached.

The length of the Kyrgyz-Tajik border is 980 kilometers, of which only 519 have been delimited and demarcated to date.
