The Deputy Chairman of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, Mavsuma Muini, emphasized that today’s meeting, held following the talks with the Chairman of the Majlisi Namoyandagon, reflects the shared commitment of both sides to strengthening friendly ties and further expanding mutually beneficial cooperation between the Republic of Tajikistan and the French Republic.
Diplomatic relations between Tajikistan and France, established in 1992, have evolved into a stable and multifaceted partnership. France was among the first states to recognize Tajikistan’s state independence and has consistently maintained a firm position in supporting peace, stability, and the socio-economic development of our country.
Cooperation in the fields of science and education is likewise demonstrating steady progress. The adoption of the “Cooperation Roadmap for 2021–2026”, signed on 16 March 2022, defined a new strategic stage in bilateral relations and is aimed at deepening the partnership and implementing joint projects across various areas.
The exhibition “Tajikistan — The Land of Golden Rivers”, held at the National Museum of Asian Arts (Guimet) in Paris, served to present the rich historical and cultural heritage of the Tajik people and to highlight their valuable contribution to global civilization.
Inter-parliamentary cooperation constitutes an integral component of Tajikistan–France relations. To facilitate this process, a Friendship and Cooperation Group between the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan and the National Assembly of the French Republic has been established. This mechanism plays an important role in exchanging legislative experience, developing inter-parliamentary dialogue, and strengthening mutual trust.
Mavsuma Muini concluded that fruitful cooperation between Tajikistan and France within the framework of the United Nations, UNESCO, and other international organizations encompasses key priority areas, including water diplomacy, climate change, sustainable development, and environmental protection.
