An online meeting was held between the Friendship and Cooperation Group of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan and the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus.

Mr. Shohiyon noted that, thanks to the constructive initiatives of the highest leadership of both countries – President Emomali Rahmon, Leader of the Nation, of the Republic of Tajikistan, and President A.G. Lukashenko of the Republic of Belarus – bilateral and multilateral relations have continued to grow and strengthen. He emphasized that the legal foundations of cooperation between Tajikistan and Belarus have been significantly strengthened over the past 30 years.
Mutually beneficial cooperation between Tajikistan and Belarus is evident in a range of areas, including the economy, trade, agriculture, development of intellectual technologies and technical innovations, security, education, culture, and humanitarian affairs.
