Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have signed 13 agreements during President Sadyr Japarov’s visit to Dushanbe, marking a new chapter in bilateral ties following the resolution of a decades-long border dispute.

According to the Kyrgyz presidency, the agreements include confidence-building measures, the formation of a Kyrgyz-Tajik intergovernmental council, and a cooperation program between their foreign ministries for 2026–2027.

The two leaders also inaugurated the Tojvaron-Karamyk border checkpoint via videoconference, symbolizing improved connectivity and collaboration.

This comes just months after the two Central Asian nations signed an historic border agreement in March, resolving a long-standing dispute along their nearly 1,000-kilometres (621-miles) shared border—a frequent source of tensions and clashes in recent years.
