Tajikistan ready to provide transit corridor for rendering humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan

Tajikistan’s Ambassador to Russia Davlatshoh Gulmahmadzoda has stated this during a meeting with the European Union Special Envoy for Afghanistan Tomas Niklasson, says the press center of the Tajik Embassy in Moscow.  

“Noting transportation and logistics capabilities of Tajikistan, Ambassador Gulmahmadzoda expressed Tajikistan’s readiness to assist the international community in delivering humanitarian aid to the people of Afghanistan through its territory,” the Embassy’s press center said.  

In the course of the talks, the parties reportedly also exchanged views on the current situation in Afghanistan and possible threat to regional security.  

They emphasized the significance of expansion of further cooperation between Tajikistan and the European Union in promoting an early settlement of the intra-Afghan crisis and economic reconstruction of this country, the Embassy’s press center added. 

Recall, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon noted on November 3 during a meeting with newly appointed ambassadors of a number of countries that the deep political military, economic and social crisis in Afghanistan is causing tension in the region.

President Emomali Rahmon remarked this here yesterday during a meeting with newly appointed ambassadors of a number of countries.  Tajik leader said Tajikistan is ready to offer its extensive logistics capabilities for provision of assistance to Afghanistan.  “The territory of Afghanistan is still remains a source of proliferation of modern threats and challenges, and our country, which has a long border with Afghanistan, is located in the frontline of addressing them,” Rahmon said.
