During the first working group on peacebuilding and governance, she spoke about Tajikistan’s experience in establishing peace and highlighted the key role of women in creating effective governance mechanisms in post-conflict periods.
In the discussions of the second working group regarding a sustainable economy, she expressed her views on the importance of women's equal access to financial resources and the protection of the interests of small and medium-sized enterprises.
It was emphasized that in Tajikistan, through the initiatives of the President of the country, Leader of the Nation, Honorable Emomali Rahmon the role of women in state and legislative bodies is increasing year by year. This experience could be of significant interest to other IPU member states.
The participation of representatives from the Parliament of Tajikistan in such a high-level forum is another sign of the strengthening of parliamentary diplomacy and the country’s contribution to addressing global issues.
