It was noted that diplomatic relations between the Republic of Tajikistan and the Republic of Kazakhstan were established on January 7, 1993, and that in June of the same year, Tajikistan’s diplomatic mission in Kazakhstan began its activities. The diplomatic mission of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Dushanbe has been operating since 1998.
It was emphasized that, since the establishment of bilateral and multilateral cooperation between Tajikistan and Kazakhstan, relations have developed in an atmosphere of mutual benefit and understanding. At present, cooperation between the two countries is developing at a high level and has reached the level of a strategic partnership. The parties’ positions on important issues of international and regional significance are coordinated, with the two sides generally holding similar or identical positions.
At present, the bilateral relations between Tajikistan and Kazakhstan are based on more than 75 bilateral agreements and other legal instruments. These documents cover the key areas of cooperation, including political and economic relations, investment and taxation, banking and customs, as well as military and military-technical cooperation, and provide a solid foundation for the further active development of bilateral relations.
