Today, the Chairman of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, Faizali Idizoda, held a meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to the Republic of Tajikistan, Elsa Pignol.
In his remarks, Mr. Idizoda emphasized that from the very moment Tajikistan achieved its state independence, France was among the first major powers to recognize it. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1992, bilateral cooperation has been steadily expanding.
In this regard, particular attention was drawn to the political will and the role of the Founder of Peace and National Unity – Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, H.E. Emomali Rahmon, and the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, whose efforts provide strong impetus to the development and enhancement of bilateral relations and ensure their long-term stability.
It was noted that bilateral cooperation between Tajikistan and France is underpinned by 30 international agreements, which contribute significantly to the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts on both sides.
Confidence was expressed that inter-parliamentary cooperation between the two countries would continue to advance.
The parties underscored the importance of strengthening collaboration within the framework of international organizations, including the United Nations, UNESCO, the European Union, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the OSCE, as well as the C5+1 format.
The Majlisi Namoyandagon reaffirmed its commitment to further expanding effective cooperation, strengthening the work of friendship groups and inter-parliamentary exchanges, and continuing efforts aimed at deepening mutually beneficial relations.
