During the delegations’ meeting led by the Deputy Foreign Minister of Tajikistan Sharaf Sheralizaoda and Deputy Managing Director for Russia, Eastern Partnership, Central Asia, and OSCE of the European External Actions Service Luc Devin, it was noted that the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with the EU that is in force since 2005 must be reconsidered in light of sustainable development of Tajikistan and our multisectoral cooperation.
