Foreign ministers of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan have signed a Protocol on the exchange of ratification instruments for the Treaty on the junction point of their state borders. According to the Uzbek MFA, the signing took place on November 15.
The document was signed by Tajikistan’s Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin, Kyrgyzstan’s Foreign Minister Jeenbek Kulubayev, and Uzbekistan’s Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov.
According to the foreign ministries, the protocol marks a key milestone in strengthening constructive dialogue, mutual trust, and regional cooperation. It also reaffirms the three Central Asian nations’ shared commitment to peace, stability, and solidarity.
The ratification of the Treaty on the border junction point is seen as a symbol of the three nations’ readiness to resolve even the most complex issues through diplomacy—guided by mutual respect, strategic thinking, and foresight.
The treaty itself was signed on March 31, 2025, in the Tajik northern city of Khujand during a trilateral summit of the leaders of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. It formally defines the specific coordinates and lines where the three countries’ borders meet.
A significant follow-up measure came from Kyrgyzstan, which began withdrawing heavy weaponry from border areas in coordination with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The head of Kyrgyzstan’s State Committee for National Security (GKNB), Kamchybek Tashiyev, also announced a revision of firearm engagement protocols, stating, “There should be no more clashes, as there are no longer any disputed areas.”
