Turkmenistan and Tajikistan signed 23 cooperation documents

Official government delegations from Tajikistan and Turkmenistan signed a number of documents, the most important of which were agreements in the areas of “plant quarantine” and “veterinary medicine.”

According to the press service of the President of Tajikistan, on May 10, during the state visit of Turkmenistan’s President Serdar Berdymukhamedov to Tajikistan, 23 documents on cooperation were signed between the countries. Most of the signed documents were in the format of “agreements” and “memoranda.”

In particular, the official delegations of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan signed 8 agreements, 12 memoranda, a roadmap, a declaration, and a joint program. None of the signed documents obligate either party to attract investments or finance any sector of the economy.

Experts believe that while these countries have turned tens of thousands of hectares of land into wasteland, where the state cannot use them and at the same time does not create conditions for residents to use them, it is unlikely that the signed “Roadmap for Expanding Cooperation in Agriculture between the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection of Turkmenistan for 2023-2025” will become a useful document in the coming years.

President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdymukhamedov, heading a high-ranking government delegation, arrived in Tajikistan for a state visit on May 10. The signing ceremony of cooperation documents and a press conference of the heads of state of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan took place in Dushanbe.
