Tajikistan completes border demarcation work with Kyrgyzstan in Sughd province

Authorities in northern Tajikistan have finalized the demarcation and engineering development of the state border with neighboring Kyrgyzstan in the Sughd Region. The completion of this significant project was marked by a ceremony in Jabbor-Rasulov district, attended by regional governor Rajabboy Ahmadzoda and other high-ranking officials, including the Commander of Tajikistan’s Border Troops.

According to regional authorities, the work involved equipping more than 300 kilometers of the Tajik-Kyrgyz border in Sughd province with border markers and supporting infrastructure, all in line with international standards. Officials emphasized that this achievement resolves one of the most intricate issues in the relationship between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, following years of negotiations by intergovernmental commissions and bilateral agreements.

The participants at the ceremony also underscored the pivotal role of the Khujand Declaration. This declaration, signed in March 2025 by the presidents of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, was credited with creating the necessary conditions for the final settlement of long-standing border disputes and fostering stronger good-neighborly relations between Dushanbe and Bishkek.

Tajikistan’s Border Troops have affirmed their continued commitment to safeguarding the nation's state border and enhancing national security. The event concluded with the presentation of commemorative awards to military personnel and officers who contributed to the border demarcation and infrastructure project. A concert featuring local performers from Sughd Region was also held to celebrate the occasion.
