This statement was made during the 91st meeting of the Council of Commanders of Border Troops of the Commonwealth of Independent States, taking place in Manas, where Tashiev held meetings with representatives from five regions of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

Turmush previously reported that on April 29, 2025, work began on the installation of border fencing in the area adjacent to the stele at the junction of the borders of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
The work began in the Koshmolo area of the Batken district.
A field camp was established to facilitate the installation work, providing comfortable conditions for border guards, and the necessary equipment was delivered.
In the first phase, it is planned to install fencing along a stretch of 420 km. The work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Earlier, on March 13, 2025, the work on the delimitation of the border was completed when an agreement on border issues was signed by the two presidents in Bishkek.
As a result of a trilateral meeting held on March 31, the presidents of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, and Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, signed the Agreement on the Junction Point of the Borders of the Three States and the Khujand Declaration of Eternal Friendship.
These documents became a symbol of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries and demonstrated an example of constructive dialogue and effective cooperation in Central Asia.
The heads of state also participated in the ceremony of unveiling a symbolic stele at the junction point of the borders. The event took place via video conference from Khujand, where the presidents simultaneously pressed a button on a special device, after which the deputy prime ministers of the three countries cut the ribbon, officially opening the stele.
This stele embodies the friendship of the peoples and symbolizes a new era of cooperation, trust, and good neighborliness between the countries after the final resolution of border issues.
