Iran: Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan border agreement ‘major step’ towards peace promotion
Iran welcomes the presidential signing of a state border agreement by Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan following decades-long negotiations.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Friday extended his congratulations to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan on signing the historic deal.
He said the success in inking the agreement was an important step towards the establishment of peace and stability in the region.
It showed the effectiveness of diplomacy in resolving disputes between countries while respecting and safeguarding mutual interests and dignity.
Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov and his Tajik counterpart Emomali Rahmon signed the long-sought agreement during a meeting in Bishkek on Thursday.
The inking of the deal brought the reopening of road, rail and air links between the two countries.
They had been suspended since September 2022, when Kyrgyz and Tajik forces fought a six-day conflict of war-like proportions, leaving hundreds dead and, in Kyrgyzstan, tens of thousands displaced.
UN chief António Guterres “congratulates the two countries on this historic achievement and commends their leadership, determination and political will to bring the decades-long negotiation process to a successful conclusion”, his spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said in a statement on Thursday.
