It specifically highlights the significance of India- Tajikistan security collaboration due to the latter’s proximity to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK). Moreover, the article underscores the need to counter the interlinked challenges of drug trafficking and terrorism, while also acknowledging the importance of addressing non-traditional security concerns.
