On May 16, 2025, on the sidelines of the XVI International Economic Forum "Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum," a meeting took place between the Minister of Labour, Migration and Employment of the Population of the Republic of Tajikistan, Soleha Kholmahmadzoda, and the Deputy Head of the Federal Service for Labour and Employment of Russia, Denis Alexandrovich Vasilev.
During the meeting, issues concerning the implementation of the Agreement on the Organized Recruitment of Citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan for Temporary Employment in the Russian Federation were discussed, as well as the draft Protocol on Amendments and Additions to the said Agreement, preparation of documents prior to departure—including medical examinations and obtaining a certificate confirming knowledge of the Russian language, history, and legislation of the Russian Federation—and other relevant labor-related matters.
Considering that the majority of labor migrants reside in Russia, key topics in negotiations between the competent authorities of the Republic of Tajikistan and the Russian Federation remain the regulation of the labor migration process and the protection of the rights and interests of Tajik citizens in Russia. Since 2019, an Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and the Government of the Russian Federation on the Organized Recruitment of Citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan for Temporary Employment in the Russian Federation has been in force.
In light of the current situation and the need to create favorable conditions for Tajik citizens traveling abroad for work through the organized system, both parties expressed their readiness to further strengthen cooperation in these areas and develop bilateral relations.
