During negotiations with the Director of the Agency for State Financial Control and Combating Corruption of the Republic of Tajikistan, Sulaimon Sultonzoda, Aleksandr Gutsan noted that Russia and Tajikistan are consistently strengthening strategic partnership relations, and the agreements reached at the highest level create a solid basis for the development of interaction between the agencies of the two countries.
"This year we began implementing the interagency cooperation program for 2026–2027," said the Russian Prosecutor General. "Its launch was marked by a round table in St. Petersburg, where experts discussed the use of digital technologies and the specifics of combating the laundering of corruption proceeds. The practical return of this event confirms the demand for such formats."
The head of the Russian supervisory agency invited foreign colleagues to participate in a distance learning program on anti-corruption at the University of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation.
"I expect continued cooperation both in bilateral format and within the framework of international events held under the auspices of the UN, the Interstate Council on Combating Corruption, and the Global Operational Network of Anti-Corruption Law Enforcement Authorities," concluded the Russian Prosecutor General.

Opening the meeting with the Director of the Anti-Corruption Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Akmal Burkhanov, Aleksandr Gutsan emphasized that the current year has become an important stage in the development of relations between the Russian Prosecutor General's Office and the law enforcement agencies of Uzbekistan, including the dynamically developing direct dialogue with the Agency.
The head of the Russian supervisory agency noted the prompt preparation of the Program of Joint Events in fulfillment of the agreements reached during the meeting in St. Petersburg in June of this year.
"I am convinced that it will give our interaction a regular, substantive, and practice-oriented character," stated the Russian Prosecutor General. "I propose instructing the relevant units to agree in the near future on the date of the first expert event under the program concerning the use of digital technologies in combating corruption."
The head of the Russian supervisory agency noted Uzbekistan's growing contribution to the international anti-corruption agenda: "In 2027, the republic will host the 12th session of the UN Conference against Corruption. I wish you success in holding this responsible high-level international event and confirm our readiness for interaction on this platform."
Aleksandr Gutsan and Akmal Burkhanov confirmed the similarity of approaches in the area under consideration. "Corruption must not remain unpunished, that is, every case must be investigated and brought to a conclusion. Otherwise, all our work is meaningless. That is, all property obtained through corruption must be seized, regardless of to whom it currently belongs and on what grounds," emphasized the Russian Prosecutor General.
Following the meeting, a Cooperation Program between the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and the Anti-Corruption Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2027–2028 was signed.
