According to the Tajik president’s official website, the parties discussed a broad range of issues related to state and prospects of further expansion of the bilateral cooperation between Tajikistan and the Russian Federation.
They reportedly noted with satisfaction the positive dynamics in political, economic and humanitarian cooperation between the two countries as well as close collaboration between them in the field of security collaboration.
