China and Tajikistan say that they have settled a century-old border dispute, after the Central Asian nation agreed to cede land to China.
The Tajik parliament voted on Wednesday to ratify a 1999 deal handing over 386 square miles (1,000 sq km) of land in the remote #Pamir mountain range.
The Tajik foreign minister said that this represented 5.5% of the land that Beijing had sought.
China said the move thoroughly resolved the border dispute.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei gave no details on the treaty.
But he said the dispute was solved “according to universally recognised norms of international law through equal consultations”.

Note : la frontière entre le #Tadjikistan et la #Chine ne semble toujours pas avoir été délimitée. Je n’en trouve pas le tracé actuel et Gg:maps non plus qui la laisse en pointillé (sur une longeur d’un peu plus de 100 km. On notera la proximité immédiate de la (très) stratégique #Route_du_Pamir (M41 sur la carte)
