    Tajik, Russian top brass pledge closer military ties

    Khovar news agency, Dushanbe
    24 Nov 04

    A meeting was held between Defence Minister Col-Gen Sherali
    Khayrulloyev and a Russian military delegation at the Tajik Defence
    Ministry on 23 November. The delegation led by the commander-in-chief
    of the Russian air force, Army General Vladimir Mikhaylov, is visiting
    Tajikistan.

    The meeting discussed Russian-Tajik military and military-technical
    cooperation both between the two countries and within the framework of
    the CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization includes Armenia,
    Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan] and other
    regional organizations.

    The discussions focused particularly on cooperation within the
    framework of the CIS joint air defence system, the involvement of
    Russian military aircraft in the joint command and staff exercise
    Rubezh-2005, to take place in Tajikistan in April 2005, and other
    issues of mutual interest.

    During the businesslike and constructive conversation, the sides
    confirmed their willingness for fruitful cooperation in the interests
    of strengthening regional cooperation in the spirit of strategic
    partnership, the head of the Tajik Defence Ministry press centre,
    Zarobiddin Sirojov, told the Khovar national news agency.
