Tajik authorities have repeatedly said they will not interfere in internal Afghan matters.

The 14th SCO summit is slated for Thursday and Friday in the Tajik capital.

But the Tajik authorities say the country is still virus-free. Rehan Dimitri reports.

He is attending at the invitation of Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, who will chair the meeting.

Fighting also erupted between troops guarding the border between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, killing two Tajik guards.

The Tajik president says the initiative plays a constructive role in promoting regional and world development.

This can explain why pairs of closely related languages-Tajik and Persian, Icelandic and Swedish, Frisian and English-differ in grammatical complexity.

Which is why I'm wearing Tajik clothes on the border of Tajikistan, where I was living.

And, even though say the Cyrillic alphabet, which is used for Russian and Ukrainian, Tajik other languages, is not that different from our, Latin alphabet.

The gunmen are reported to be Tajik nationals who had been recruited to fight in Ukraine and had got into a row over religion.
