AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoLabor Migration & Health Access: Russia plans to overhaul foreign worker recruitment from 2027 by tying migrants to specific employers, jobs, and regions, moving away from the “work-patent” route that many Tajik and Uzbek workers rely on—raising fears of more informal work and worse access to care. Cross-Border Worker Safety: After a Ukrainian drone strike hit Russia’s Tatarstan (Nizhnekamsk), Uzbekistan repatriated eight bodies and said injured people are receiving medical help; Tajik sources also reported casualties and injuries among nationals. Tajik-Afghan Border Tensions: Tajikistan sent a protest note to Afghanistan over an alleged airspace violation near Darvoz in GBAO that damaged homes and killed a civilian, with a pregnant victim reported. Local Health & Wellbeing Economy: Tajikistan’s hospitality sector (hotels and restaurants) grew sharply in early 2026, with turnover up nearly 55% year-on-year—often linked to tourism recovery and summer demand. Public Health Policy in the Region: WHO data show very high overweight/obesity levels across former Soviet states, with Tajikistan among the highest rates.
