Under an agreement signed in Dushanbe on 29 May by Tajik Deputy Prime Minister Saidamir Zuhurov and U.S. Charge d\'Affaires Kenneth Gross, Washington will provide Tajikistan with a further $2.4 million to finance efforts against drug-trafficking. Part of the money will finance technical assistance and training for the Tajik law enforcement agencies. The United States will also appoint a special councilor to its Dushanbe embassy who will liaise with the Tajik power ministries and intelligence service on drug-related issues. The agreement supplements one signed earlier this year (Asia Plus-Blitz).
