Afghan-Tajik Border

The Afghan-Tajik border is a roughly 1,300-kilometer boundary dividing Afghanistan and Tajikistan in Central Asia. It features mountainous terrain, especially the Pamir and Hindu Kush ranges, making it difficult to traverse. This border is significant for security, trade, and regional stability, with both countries maintaining patrols to prevent illegal crossings and smuggling. It also holds cultural and ethnic links, as some communities span both sides. Despite its importance, the border has occasionally seen tensions and disputes, especially related to security concerns and migration. Overall, it plays a crucial role in shaping regional geopolitics and bilateral relations.
