BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 13. Tajikistan and the
UN Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy (UNRCCA) discussed
cooperation and regional challenges.
This was announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Tajikistan in a report published on June 12, following a meeting
between Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Idibek Kalandar and Head
of the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for
Central Asia (UNRCCA) Kaha Imnadze.
According to the Tajik MFA, in the course of the meeting, the
sides exchanged views on countering modern challenges and threats,
ensuring sustainable development, and strengthening cooperation
among Central Asian countries in the areas of water and energy
resources, environmental protection, and climate change.
''The meeting highlights the continued importance of regional
coordination mechanisms in Central Asia amid growing challenges
related to climate change, water security, and sustainable resource
management,'' the report says.
Tajikistan’s cooperation with the UNRCCA serves as a platform
for dialogue and preventive diplomacy, which remains of particular
importance for addressing cross-border issues and strengthening
stability in the region.
Meanwhile, Tajikistan’s focus on water and energy cooperation
reflects the country’s broader efforts to advance regional
collaboration in areas directly linked to sustainable development
and climate resilience.
The United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for
Central Asia (UNRCCA) is a special political mission headquartered
in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. Established in 2007 at the request of
the five Central Asian states, it aims to help regional governments
anticipate and peacefully resolve disputes before they escalate
into open conflicts.
