DUSHANBE. October 15, 2022 /NIAT «Khovar»/.  “We are in favor of strengthening coordination through our special services and competent authorities in order to develop existing, and create new mechanisms for the joint fight against the spread of radicalization in the region,” Emomali Rahmon said on October 14 in Astana during the first Russia — Central Asia summit.

“The situation in Afghanistan directly affects our security,” he stressed.

As the closest neighbor, Tajikistan has always advocated for the formation of Afghanistan as a peaceful state free from terrorism, war, and drugs.

“We share the calls for humanitarian assistance to the long-suffering people of Afghanistan. We provide our border infrastructure and logistics capabilities to all interested parties for the delivery of targeted humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan. We have not stopped supplying the neighboring country with much-needed electricity for a single day,” said President  Rahmon.

Meanwhile, Tajikistan is trying to strengthen its border with Afghanistan and build the necessary border infrastructure. “In this regard, we are in favor of establishing more practical cooperation between our countries in providing assistance to each other in strengthening the potential of border protection,” said he.
