The leaders of the two countries discussed bilateral cooperation in various sectors. The Russian president also thanked Emomali Rahmon for his "special attention" to the Russian language in Tajikistan.
"Today, as agreed, we will devote our meeting to bilateral relations, which are of course strategic in nature and are developing in a very positive way both in the economic field and in humanitarian issues," noted Vladimir Putin.
In addition, he referred to yesterday's discussion in Moscow on the problems of ensuring security in the area of responsibility of the Collective Security Treaty Organization. Rahmon was also among the participants.
"In my opinion, all our discussions ended with a positive and good result. We confirmed our general commitment to work together in this important area," the Russian president said.
At the same time, Rahmon noted that the trade turnover between Russia and Tajikistan increases every year, and cultural and humanitarian cooperation is on the rise.
