On April 11, CSTO Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov met with Tajikistan’s President Emomali Rahmon in Dushanbe, Orda.kz reports, citing the organization’s press service.
The meeting focused on the current situation within the CSTO’s area of responsibility and preparations for upcoming sessions of the organization’s key governing bodies.
A separate topic of discussion was the enhancement of security along the Tajik-Afghan border. The two sides reviewed the progress of the first stage of a joint program among CSTO member states to strengthen border protection in this area.
The targeted interstate program to bolster the Tajik-Afghan border was approved in November 2024. It is being implemented in phases and is based on a decision originally adopted by the CSTO Collective Security Council in 2013.
During the first stage (2025), Tajikistan is tasked with identifying the types of weapons and equipment that CSTO member states can supply, securing financing, and signing necessary contracts.
The second stage (2026–2027) will focus on delivering military equipment and weapons to priority areas along the border.
In the third stage (2027–2029), the program’s planned measures will be extended across the entire Tajik-Afghan border.
