On May 19, 2026, Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, hosted the 5th Forum of Parliamentary Representatives of the Member States of the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (EAG). Khairiddinzoda Azizbek, a member of the Committee on Law and Order, Defense, and Security of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, participated in the event and delivered a speech.
In his address, Mr. Khairiddinzoda Azizbek highlighted that Tajikistan is taking concrete legislative steps to counter financial crimes and terrorism. The Republic has established a robust legal framework; over the past five years alone, new editions of key laws have been drafted and adopted, including the Laws "On Countering Extremism," "On Countering Terrorism," "On Electronic Communications," and "On Security," alongside other relevant regulatory acts.
Tajikistan’s international cooperation in combating money laundering and terrorist financing is built upon bilateral, multilateral, and regional legal frameworks aimed at ensuring global peace and security. The Republic views these efforts as vital to maintaining national, regional, and global stability and remains committed to further strengthening international partnerships in this area.
The forum emphasized that by unifying global efforts, harmonizing legislative frameworks, and sharing institutional experience, nations can effectively address the evolving challenges of financial crime within the context of globalization and regional security.
