Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, Kyrgyz leader Sadyr Japarov, and Uzbek head of state Shavkat Mirziyoyev have signed a treaty establishing the junction point of the three republics' borders, APA reports citing TASS.
The signing ceremony took place during a meeting of the heads of state in Khujand, the administrative center of the Sughd Region in northern Tajikistan, a TASS correspondent reports from the scene.
Additionally, the leaders signed the Khujand Declaration of Eternal Friendship. The event was held at the Tajik president’s residence in the town of Guliston near Khujand.
Earlier, the chairman of the Association of Political Scientists of Tajikistan, Professor Sayfullo Safarov, told TASS that the signing of the document would create an opportunity to "strengthen relations in the political, cultural, and economic areas," while also addressing the challenges faced by residents of border regions and enclaves.
Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan are holding their first-ever summit in Khujand as they celebrate International Day of Nowruz.
