Nearly 90% of engineering work along the Tajik-Kyrgyz border has been completed, according to Tajikistan’s State Committee for Land Management and Geodesy.

Tajikistan expects to complete the demarcation of its common border with Kyrgyzstan in 2027, Orif Khojazoda, Chairman of the State Committee for Land Management and Geodesy, said at a news conference in Dushanbe on July 17.

Following the signing of the border treaty, the two countries began demarcation — physically marking the agreed border line on the ground.

Border points have so far been established along approximately 416 kilometers, while engineering work, including the installation of fencing, has been carried out on both sides along around 300 kilometers.

“Overall, nearly 90% of the engineering work has been completed. The most difficult section was in Sughd province, and work there has been fully completed. Only a small amount of engineering work remains, which we expect to finish in the coming days,” Khojazoda said.

The two sides also began installing border markers and posts along previously designated sections on July 14.

The Tajik-Kyrgyz border is approximately 1,008 kilometers long, with much of the remaining work taking place in mountainous terrain.

Khojazoda said the process was continuing in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and that no disputes over the border line remained following the completion of delimitation.

“We are confident that the work will be fully completed in 2027,” he said.

Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan signed a treaty on their state border in Bishkek on March 13, 2025.

The two countries’ government commissions subsequently continued demarcation work, including surveys, the installation of border markers and the engineering development of the agreed border line.

Tajikistan is also continuing the demarcation of its border with Uzbekistan. According to the State Committee, working groups from the two countries’ government delegations held seven meetings on the issue in the first half of 2026.
