The final documents regarding the delimitation and demarcation of the border were approved at a joint meeting of the governmental delegations of both countries. The projects for the following agreements were endorsed: a treaty on the state border, an agreement on the construction and use of roads, as well as a document ensuring access to water management and energy facilities. A protocol was signed at the conclusion of the meeting.
Later, the head of the State National Security Committee Kamchybek Tashiev announced that the coordination of the entire length of the border has been officially completed. This was officially recognized by the commissions of both countries responsible for delimitation and demarcation. Tashiev is quoted by the local publication Kaktus.media. The next step involves domestic coordination of these agreements.
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan decided to coordinate the delimitation and demarcation of their borders after the conflict escalated between them in late 2022. Both sides placed the blame for the outbreak of hostilities on each other.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan, as a result of the shelling, 63 citizens of the country lost their lives, and about 140,000 people were evacuated. Tajikistan reported 83 casualties. Subsequently, after negotiations, Bishkek and Dushanbe agreed to cease armed confrontation and signed the corresponding agreement.
Work groups began drafting the final documents for the delimitation of the Kyrgyz-Tajik border back in early December of last year. The border stretches over 970 km. In mid-December 2024, Kyrgyzstan's President Sadyr Japarov stated that the parties had divided the disputed areas equally, taking into account the interests of both states. In some locations, the sides agreed to exchange territories.
