Over the years of independence, thanks to the wise policy of the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, comprehensive reforms have been stepped up in various spheres of society and the state, creation and improvement work, — construction and renovation of industrial and social infrastructures, energy facilities, roads, transport and other creative initiatives.

Currently, thanks to the selfless work and efforts of our people under the leadership of the President Emomali Rahmon, three national strategic goals, — ensuring energy independence, breaking the communication deadlock and protecting food security are approaching their final phase. The fourth national goal, the accelerated industrialization of the country, is in full force.

Our free and sovereign state takes a worthy position in the international arena. The world community comprehensively supports the peace-loving and creative initiatives of our state.

The support of the world community of the initiatives of the President of Tajikistan on water issues testifies to the recognition of our country throughout the world.

Tajikistan’s fourth initiative to address one of humanity’s most serious problems entitled the International Decade for Action ‘Water for Sustainable Development, 2018–2028,’ which was launched by the United Nations last year, will be implemented over the next ten years on a global scale.
