With the participation of the Russian Armed Forces, exercises are regularly held to practice counter-terrorism actions, and in the near future we already expect to sign an intergovernmental agreement, according to which we will provide financial assistance in the construction of a modern border post on one of the sections of the Tajik-Afghan border, " the minister said. — We are concerned about the activation of militants of international terrorist organizations in the northern provinces of Afghanistan. We are ready — and we will put this into practice-to provide Dushanbe with all the necessary assistance in the fight against terrorism, extremism and drug trafficking."
