Date published on May 11, 2021

...Wang Yi said, as brothers, good neighbors, and "iron friends", China and Tajikistan should take the lead in building a community with shared development and a community with shared security and go ahead of China's relations with the other Central Asian countries. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the independence of Tajikistan and next year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Tajikistan, ushering the bilateral relations into a fresh historic chapter and providing them with new development opportunities. The phone conversation between the two heads of state days ago has charted a course for the development of China-Tajikistan relations. We should earnestly implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, continue enhancing the "gold content" of bilateral relations, consolidate the foundation of political mutual trust, upgrade the scale and quality of cooperation, push China-Tajikistan relations for a new development stage, and make new contribution to deepening the cooperation of China with Central Asian countries. China highly appreciates Tajikistan's firm support on issues concerning the country's core interests, such as those concerning Taiwan, Xinjiang and Hong Kong. China will continue to staunchly support Tajikistan in taking a development path suited to its own national conditions and safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests, and firmly oppose any interference in Tajikistan's internal affairs by external forces...     quoted from



Blinken discusses Afghan peace with Uzbek, Tajik counterparts

Jul 2 -  US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday discussed peace and cooperation in Afghanistan with his Uzbek and Tajik counterparts during separate bilateral meetings in Washington.

He also welcomed Uzbekistan's focus on regional connectivity, including closer political and economic cooperation with Afghanistan in ways that would support prosperity and growth across Central and South Asia," State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement.

Blinken and the Tajik Foreign Minister agreed that a just and durable settlement in Afghanistan would advance regional economic growth and integration, the State Department said.


"The Secretary expressed a desire for further bilateral collaboration on promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms as well as economic development, and affirmed the U.S. commitment to Tajikistan's security, stability, and territorial integrity," the statement added.


Tajik Foreign Minister likewise agreed that a peaceful settlement to the conflict in Afghanistan would advance integration and economic growth in the region, Sputnik reported.
