Japarov, Mirziyoyev, and Rahmon Nominated for the International Leo Tolstoy Peace Prize

Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and Tajik President Emomali Rahmon have been nominated for the International Leo Tolstoy Peace Prize.

The three leaders of the Turkic world were nominated for their contributions to ensuring common and equal security based on the global legal order and to the formation of a new, just, multipolar world order.

In 2022, Kyrgyzstan resolved its 200-kilometer border dispute with neighboring Uzbekistan, and in 2025, it resolved its 486.94-kilometer border issue with Tajikistan through a mutual land swap.

In the city of Khujand, Tajikistan, the three countries—Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan—signed the Khujand Declaration of Friendship at the point where their borders meet, dedicating it to eternal friendship.
