(Reuters) – Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov and his Tajik counterpart Emomali Rakhmon agreed at a meeting in Uzbekistan to order a ceasefire and troop pullback, the Kyrgyz president’s office said on Friday.
Fighting erupted along the two countries’ border while their leaders attended a summit of a Russia- and China-led regional body in Uzbekistan’s Samarkand.
