Bishkek, March 12, 2025. /Kabar/. The settlement of the Kyrgyz-Tajik border will ensure security not only for Central Asia, but also for the entire Eurasian region, expert, director of the Eurasian Center for Strategic Studies Bakyt Zhumagulov told Kabar Agency.
According to him, first of all, the resolution of the border issue between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan will lead to the establishment of peace between the two countries. In addition, strengthening the border will help prevent potential threats to all of Eurasia.
"First, the settlement of the Kyrgyz-Tajik border should be considered as a matter of peace, stability and security of the Batken region. It is also well known that drug trafficking, international terrorism and extremism have posed a threat in this region. Now, with the definition of the border, these threats will be stopped, which will ensure security for Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia and all of Eurasia.
Legal settlement of the border issue between the two countries can be called a guarantee of peace and stability. In world practice, the resolution of border issues is closely linked to strategic, geopolitical and security issues.
On the other hand, economic relations between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan can bring significant benefits. Kyrgyzstan supplies goods to Tajikistan, and Tajik goods come to Kyrgyzstan. From an economic point of view, Kyrgyzstan acts as a gateway to the Eurasian countries. After the final definition of the border, trade relations can resume," the political observer noted.
