Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have agreed to exchange disputed border areas, addressing long-standing conflicts, according to Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov. The agreement, signed on February 21, aims to resolve territorial issues permanently, with both countries’ interests taken into account.
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have agreed to exchange border areas prone to conflict, as part of their ongoing border delimitation process, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov stated in an interview with the Kabar news agency.
Japarov explained that the land exchange was not driven by strategic interests but rather focused on areas where disputes had frequently occurred. He pointed out that the exchanged areas were either enclaves or located in a checkerboard pattern along the border.
The Kyrgyz president assured that the border issue with Tajikistan has now been "resolved forever." He emphasized that both countries’ interests had been considered in the agreement signed on February 21. While acknowledging there is more to discuss about the border in the future, Japarov expressed confidence that history will judge the resolution positively, stating, "I am sure it will give us an 'excellent' grade."
