The delegations discussed the preparations for future meetings and arranged draft agreements on legal and technical standards on the demarcation of the common border, as well as the schedule of future meetings.

The dividing line between the two nations, once part of the former Soviet Union, covers 1,650 kilometers, of which there are 10 sections that were excluded from the agreements signed in 2000.

This process was resumed on March 2017, but stopped three years later, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
