According to the source, Chinese workers have returned to the Dushanbe–Kulma highway project after late-2025 attacks near the Afghanistan–Tajikistan border killed five Chinese nationals and halted work on a key segment. The restart appears linked to expanded Tajik security measures and a broader push to strengthen border infrastructure with Chinese grant funding.
The Diplomat reports the CSTO is finalizing contracts to supply weapons and military equipment to Tajikistan to reinforce its 1,344-kilometer border with Afghanistan, a plan approved at the CSTO’s November 2024 Astana summit. The effort has gained urgency after late-2025 cross-border attacks killed Chinese workers and disrupted China-linked infrastructure activity, though delivery timelines and likely impact remain uncertain.
