Tajikistan is interested in further expanding constructive cooperation with Japan within the framework of the United Nations and other authoritative international organizations and financial institutions. An important platform for the interaction is the Dialogue Central Asia + Japan.

The main documents governing bilateral relations at this stage are the Joint Communique of Friendship and Cooperation between Tajikistan and Japan of 2001 and the Agreement between the Government of Tajikistan and the Government of Japan on Technical Cooperation of 2005.

The activity of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which since August 2006 has been making a significant contribution to the development of the social spheres of Tajikistan, is important in strengthening bilateral cooperation.
