The authorities of Kyrgyzstan have stated that the demarcation of the Tajik-Kyrgyz border is 80 percent complete.
On December 12, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the State National Security Committee of Kyrgyzstan Kamchybek Tashiev visited the border area and reviewed the progress of the fence installation work.
According to the official, currently 80% of the section of the state border in the Batken region, which borders the Sughd region of Tajikistan, is completely fenced with protective barriers, including barbed wire. Tashiev stated that the remaining 20% will be closed according to the approved schedule, with plans to complete the work by 2026.
The press service of the State National Security Committee of Kyrgyzstan notes that Tashiev has given instructions to leaders to further strengthen border infrastructure, enhance security levels, and accelerate the pace of construction work.
It is still unknown whether the Tajik side is strengthening its borders or not. There are also no reports on other agreements regarding the demarcation of the state border. Tajik authorities do not provide the media with reports on the situation at the border.
Work on the demarcation and installation of fences, posts, and barbed wire at the Tajik-Kyrgyz border continues. This process began after numerous armed conflicts in recent years between the two neighboring states resulted in dozens of casualties and injuries on both sides. Ultimately, in March 2025, the parties resolved these disputes by defining the state border, and the process of demarcation and division of the border is now underway.
The start of the border marking phase became possible after negotiators reached final agreements, which were then approved by the parliaments, and finally, the presidents of the two countries signed a document on the border agreement. After this, diplomatic, trade, and cultural relations significantly improved.
However, the authorities of Tajikistan still do not disclose information about the progress of negotiations, the sections that were ceded to Kyrgyzstan, and the territories that were ceded to Tajikistan.
