Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan's presidents signed a protocol ratifying a border agreement in Khujand, Tajikistan. They also inaugurated a 500 kV power line under CASA-1000, enhancing regional electricity trade. Their meeting preceded a trilateral summit with Uzbekistan's president.
On Monday, Kyrgyzstan's President Sadyr Japarov and Tajikistan's President Emomali Rahmon signed a protocol to exchange instruments of ratification for a border agreement finalized earlier this month.
The ceremony took place in Khujand, Tajikistan, following bilateral talks between the two leaders.
The presidents also participated in an online inauguration of a 500 kV power transmission line under the Central Asia-South Asia Electricity Transmission and Trade Project (CASA-1000). This $1.16 billion project aims to export surplus hydroelectricity from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
During their discussions, Japarov and Rahmon explored ways to enhance Tajik-Kyrgyz relations and strengthen good-neighborly ties. Their meeting preceded a trilateral summit with Uzbekistan, where Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev joined them in Khujand.
Earlier, on March 13, Japarov and Rahmon signed a border agreement in Bishkek, resolving a long-standing dispute between their countries.
