“At the same time, he stated that Tajikistan will never give up the lands that originally and rightfully belong to it,” the Tajik MFA information department said.
During the conversation, the ministers reportedly underlined the significance of resolving all issues of the state border exclusively through negotiations and noted the inadmissibility of attempts at provocations by individual stakeholders that lead to further escalation of the situation.
