Poland recognized Tajikistan’s independence in December 1991. Diplomatic relations were established on 11 February 1992. The Polish embassy accredited to Tajikistan is the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Uzbekistan.

Bilateral ties with Tajikistan are regulated by the 2003 Declaration on the Development of Friendly Relations. Key agreements include the Agreement on Economic Cooperation, the Agreement on Cooperation in the Fields of Culture and Education, the Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Agreement on Combating Crime.

Tajikistan’s openness to international cooperation makes it Poland’s second development cooperation partner in Central Asia alongside Kyrgyzstan. Due to Polish involvement in Afghanistan, our country sees security cooperation with Tajikistan as highly significant.

Poland’s cooperation with Tajikistan is limited in scope and is focused primarily on trade. Trade in 2011 amounted to USD 8.8 million compared to USD 30.6 million in 2010 (with minor import levels). The first meeting of the Bilateral Commission was held in 2010 (Warsaw), while Dushanbe hosted the second event in 2011 accompanied by Business Forums. The exact date of this year’s meeting in Warsaw is currently being determined.

Tajikistan is home to 40 people with Polish ancestry. The only Polish diaspora organization active in Tajikistan is the “Mazurek” Social and Cultural Association.
