Today, a festive gathering dedicated to the 29th anniversary of "National Unity Day" was held at the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan.
Addressing the attendees, the Chairman of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, Faizali Idizoda, stated: "The celebration of National Unity is truly a unique achievement of the Tajik nation. This milestone was made possible for the people of Tajikistan precisely thanks to the consistent and constructive efforts of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Leader of the Nation, Honorable Emomali Rahmon."
He further emphasized that, thanks to the profound support of the country's proud people for the wise and visionary policy of their sagacious and capable Leader, this important date marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Tajik statehood.
For the people of Tajikistan and the young Tajik state, national unity has become not only a symbol of peace, tranquility, and political stability, but also a fundamental driver of sustainable development across all spheres of public and state life.
As the beloved Leader of the Nation constantly emphasizes: "For us, unity is not just an ordinary word; rather, it is our destiny, a prerequisite for our country's progress toward a prosperous and peaceful future, and most importantly, the guarantor of the solidarity and happiness of our people today and in the future."
"Indeed, thanks to national unity – the foundation and pillar of state independence – our ancient and cultured nation has succeeded in reviving its national and cultural values. Through the noble and invaluable initiatives of the esteemed Leader of the Nation, Honorable Emomali Rahmon, we are able to pay tribute to our great historical figures in politics, science, and literature," Faizali Idizoda noted.
In this regard, special emphasis was placed on the rare, culture-nurturing, historic, and humanitarian initiative of the hero-son of the nation, the unity-promoting and peacemaking President of Tajikistan, Honorable Emomali Rahmon, who orchestrated the return of soil from the resting places of the nation's distinguished sons and Heroes of Tajikistan Nusratullo Makhsum and Shirinsho Shotemur, as well as the prominent historical cultural figure, Nisor Muhammad, back to the Homeland.
"This outstanding initiative by the beloved Leader of the Tajik nation is a clear testament to the profound reverence of the State and the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan for national history, culture, freedom, and sovereignty. It honors the services of the devoted sons of the Motherland, and will be eternally recorded in the pages of history," Faizali Idizoda added.
The Deputy Chairman of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, Aziz Giyozoda, also noted during his speech that national unity is not only one of the greatest achievements of Tajikistan's independence era, but it also embodies the steadfast will of the Tajik nation to ensure stability, peace, and the territorial integrity of the country. The modern history of Tajikistan demonstrates that achieving national unity was a challenging path; it was the ultimate result of a proud struggle, continuous hard work, and the visionary measures implemented by the wise Leader, the Founder of Peace and National Unity – Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Honorable Emomali Rahmon.
Members of the Majlisi Namoyandagon also presented insights regarding the essence and significance of national unity.

At the conclusion of the gathering, the Chairman of the Majlisi Namoyandagon, Faizali Idizoda, added that National Unity Day holds a unique place among state holidays. The peacemaking experience of the Tajiks, resolving large-scale conflicts and clashes in such a short period of time, has been recognized by the international community and influential international organizations as an exemplary historical lesson and a rare blueprint for peace.
The triumph of peace in Tajikistan, which is the direct fruit of the efforts, initiatives, and tested, visionary policies of the esteemed Leader of the Nation, Honorable Emomali Rahmon, has once again proven to the global community that the Tajiks are truly one of the world's most ancient, cultured, wise, peace-loving, and resilient nations.
