On October 13 in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, a trilateral meeting took place during the Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) with the participation of the presidents of Russia, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan.
Vladimir Putin noted that Tajikistan is a close ally and is undoubtedly a strategic partner. He also emphasized that two million citizens of Tajikistan live and work in Russia.
At the same time, the authorities of Tajikistan, including Emomali Rahmon himself, always try to conceal official data from the public and present the number of migrants as lower than it actually is. The authorities have repeatedly emphasized that fewer than 1 million Tajik migrants are working in Russia. According to various official sources from Tajik authorities, their number ranges from 400 thousand to 900 thousand people.
According to unofficial data, currently more than 2 million citizens of Tajikistan, who are considered the main workforce and brain of the country, are outside Tajikistan, most of them in Russia.
