On June 15, 2011, the OSCE Academy has signed an Agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Tajikistan allowing its graduates from Tajikistan to intern at the Ministry.
This Agreement has become the third one after the similar Agreements signed with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan on September 10 2010 and Kyrgyz Republic on January 12, 2011.
