Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan agree on exchanging ratification instruments of border deal

Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan’s presidents signed a protocol on the exchange of instruments of ratification of a border deal signed between Bishkek and Dushanbe earlier this month.

The signing ceremony, held in the Tajik city of Khujand, took place after bilateral talks between Tajik President Emomali Rahmon and his visiting Kyrgyz counterpart Sadyr Japarov, according to a statement by the Tajik presidency.

“During the talks, the leaders of the two states thoroughly discussed the state and prospects of Tajik-Kyrgyz bilateral relations and exchanged views on a wide range of issues related to the development and strengthening of good-neighborly relations between the two countries,” a separate statement by the Tajik presidency reads.
