Valdai Club

The prospects for Tajik-Russian cooperation in science and education will largely depend on both parties’ ability to transition to a comprehensive, programmatic, and targeted model of interaction—one focused on creating a shared scientific and technological space, developing an innovative economy, and training a highly qualified new generation of specialists, writes Guzel Majtdinova.

New international legal foundations are being laid for the meridional and latitudinal integration of South and Central Asia, and ultimately for the strengthening of ties in the new macro-region of Central Eurasia, writes Guzel Majtdinova.

New trends in the interaction between Russia and the states of Central and South Asia in the context of transformation of the geo-economic space more and more clearly define the contours of a new macro-region of development — Central Eurasia.

The core element of the Russian-Tajik strategic partnership and alliance is the coordination of joint activity in the international arena, both bilaterally and within global and regional organisations. Amid these conditions, the combined efforts of Tajikistan and Russia in ensuring the security of the southern borders of the CIS and the CSTO zone of responsibility is considered particularly relevant, writes Guzel Majtdinova, Professor of the Department of Foreign Regional Studies and Foreign Policy of the Russian-Tajik Slavonic University, who participates in the second session of the Valdai Club’s Central Asian conference.
