This MOU aims to strengthen cooperation and support between South Korea and Tajikistan in anti-corruption efforts, coinciding with the 2026 First Korea-Central Asia Summit. Sirojiddin Muhriddin, Tajikistan's Minister of Foreign Affairs, signed the anti-corruption cooperation MOU alongside Jeong Il-yeon, Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Under the MOU, both agencies will collaborate on sharing knowledge, information, best practices, and experiences related to anti-corruption policies and measures. They will also discuss mutual interests through invitations to international conferences, seminars, and joint research, as well as develop and implement educational programs to enhance integrity in both public and private sectors.
Jeong Il-yeon stated, "Tajikistan possesses the largest water resources in Central Asia and has achieved high economic growth by developing its rich mineral resources. Since establishing diplomatic relations in 1992, we have maintained a friendly relationship, and I expect significant potential for practical and mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields moving forward."
He emphasized that this MOU will provide substantial support for strengthening Tajikistan's anti-corruption capabilities and will continue to expand the cooperation network with Central Asian countries.
