Office of the Spokesperson United States-Tajikistan Annual Bilateral ConsultationsToday, the State Department held a successful round of the United States-Tajikistan Annual Bilateral Consultations, the first under the Trump Administration and a meaningful restart of high-level dialogue following a four-year pause. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Paul Kapur recognized Tajikistan’s key role in border security efforts aimed at preventing the spread of terrorism and transnational crime from Afghanistan. He highlighted robust security cooperation between the two countries, including the enduring State Partnership Program with Virginia. He noted the C5+1 (Central Asia plus United States) Tenth Anniversary events in November 2025, during which commercial deals involving U.S. and Tajik companies worth more than $3 billion were announced, demonstrating what our countries can accomplish when we work together to advance our national interests and secure mutual prosperity for our peoples. Assistant Secretary Kapur underscored the longstanding bilateral relationship, noting that the United States recognized Tajikistan’s independence nearly 35 years ago, and affirmed that the U.S.-Tajik relationship is advancing President Trump’s foreign policy priorities of prosperity and security. Looking ahead, Tajikistan announced it will host the upcoming B5+1 meeting, a significant step that will further enhance commercial diplomacy and deepen economic partnerships across Central Asia.
