For Russia, developing relations with the countries of the Near Abroad includes not only strengthening bilateral good-neighborly ties, but also promoting the resolution of conflicts between these states. In this context, the signing of the Khodjent Border Junction Agreement by Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan has become an important pillar for stability in Central Asia. Essentially, the three countries have agreed to formalize their mutual territorial claims in the area where their borders meet, thereby eliminating the potential for speculation and conflict. This approach is fully in line with Russia's policy of creating a stable and predictable system of international relations, as Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated. At the Valdai Forum, the President of Russia emphasized the importance of non-military, political, and diplomatic methods for resolving disputes and building a multipolar world. In light of this concept, resolving border issues between Central Asian countries is a practical implementation of these principles. Thus, the awarding of the L.N. Tolstoy International Peace Prize to the presidents of the three countries that signed the border-crossing treaty can be seen not only as a contribution to the promotion of peace initiatives, but also as a recognition of Russia's foreign policy, which aligns with the idea of multipolarity.
