On July 21, the presidents of #Kazakhstan, #Kyrgyzstan and #Uzbekistan signed an agreement on "friendship, good neighborliness and cooperation" for the development of Central Asia (CA) at the fourth consultative meeting of the heads of state of Central Asia in Cholpon-Ata.

The heads of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan will sign the document after the completion of domestic procedures in their countries.

Fighting between the Armed Forces of #Tajikistan and #Kyrgyzstan continues, reports of the evacuation of a large number of residents of villages in the conflict zone. Kyrgyzstan stated that the Tajiks use the residents as a human shield.

#Kyrgyzstan and #Tajikistan have reached an agreement to end border conflicts and mitigate their effects, announced the head of the Kyrgyz National Security Committee, Kamchibek Tashiev.

#Kyrgyzstan explained why it canceled the military exercises of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), which were to start on 10th in Kyrgyzstan.

Public opinion in Kyrgyzstan would not agree with the participation of the country's army in the upcoming CSTO exercises due to the recent conflict with Tajikistan.

Kyrgyzstan's deputy prime minister, Edil Baisalov, also added that the Kyrgyz people would not see well that the same units of the Tajik armed forces that participated in the border conflict were present in the "Indestructible Brotherhood-2022" maneuvers.

And without the Tajiks, the military exercises would not work, since they are also an important part of the CSTO, as are the armies of Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus, Baisalov said.
