BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 18. Tajikistan and the
OSCE discussed regional security, border security, and water
cooperation.
This was stated by the press service of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Tajikistan.
This issue was discussed on June 18, 2026, during a meeting
between Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of
Tajikistan Idibek Kalandar and Special Representative of the OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office/Switzerland for the Promotion of Dialogue and
Confidence-building Dr. Serge Rumin.
"During the meeting, the sides exchanged views on current issues
of regional security. Particular attention was paid to border
security, environmental protection and cooperation in the field of
water resources as important factors for strengthening stability
and sustainable development in the region," the statement said.
The parties expressed interest in further strengthening
cooperation and confirmed their readiness to expand practical
interaction in areas of mutual interest.
Meanwhile, the meeting between Tajikistan and the OSCE
highlights the growing importance of regional dialogue and
confidence-building mechanisms in addressing security and
development challenges in Central Asia. Cooperation on border
security, environmental protection, and water resources management
remains a key element for maintaining stability, as these issues
directly affect sustainable development and relations between
neighboring countries.
For Tajikistan, which plays an important role in regional water
cooperation due to its significant hydropower and water resources
potential, engagement with international organizations such as the
OSCE provides an opportunity to promote coordinated approaches to
shared challenges.
The continuation of practical cooperation in these areas may
contribute to strengthening trust among regional partners and
supporting long-term stability across Central Asia.
