During the meeting, which took place in the Leningrad Region, Putin noted that Russia continues to develop humanitarian ties with Tajikistan, having provided the country with the largest quota of 1,000 places for education in Russian educational institutions. He emphasized that Russia is ready to increase the quota in the future, as it corresponds to the interests of both countries.
