The Tashkent Declaration “The Move from Malaria Control to Elimination”, endorsed by Turkmenistan in 2005, and the Kabul Declaration “Health for All. Health by All: Communicable Diseases Recognize No Borders”, endorsed by Turkmenistan and Afghanistan in 2006, put particular emphasis on situations in which there is a risk of malaria spreading between countries. The rationale for this joint statement, endorsed at the intercountry meeting between Turkmenistan and Afghanistan on cross-border cooperation (Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, 19–20 November 2009), is to stress the need to establish cross-border cooperation in order to promote and facilitate joint efforts aimed at malaria control and elimination in Afghanistan and prevention of reintroduction of malaria transmission in Turkmenistan.
