BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 16. Tajikistan and the
EU discussed the implementation of the agreements reached at the
Central Asia–EU summit.


This was announced by the press service of the Tajik MFA,
following a meeting between Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Idibek Kalandar, and Deputy Secretary General of the European
External Action Service, Olof Skoog, on July 15 in Brussels.


According to the ministry, the meeting took place on the
sidelines of the 13th High-Level Political and Security Dialogue
between the European Union and Central Asia.







''The sides exchanged views on constructive political and
security cooperation, including the implementation of agreements
reached at the first Central Asia–European Union Summit, as well as
on other issues of mutual interest,'' the statement said.


Meanwhile, Tajikistan and the European Union have developed a
growing partnership focused on political dialogue, economic
cooperation, security, and sustainable development. The EU is one
of Tajikistan’s important international partners, supporting
projects in areas such as education, energy, climate resilience,
water management, and regional connectivity. Cooperation between
the two sides is guided by the EU–Central Asia regional framework,
which aims to strengthen ties with all Central Asian countries.
Security cooperation has become a key area of engagement,
particularly regarding border management, counterterrorism, and
stability in the wider region. The EU also supports Tajikistan’s
efforts to improve governance, strengthen institutions, and promote
economic diversification. In recent years, Brussels and Dushanbe
have increased high-level political contacts, including through
regular dialogues and summits involving Central Asian states. The
EU views Tajikistan as an important partner in promoting regional
stability and connectivity, while Tajikistan seeks greater
investment, technology cooperation, and access to European
expertise. The relationship continues to expand as both sides
explore new opportunities in trade, infrastructure, and sustainable
development.
