Tajik President Emomali Rahmon is addressing a joint meeting of both chambers of the parliament today.
Parliamentarians, members of the government as well as regional administrators are attending the session.
Usually, in an address to the parliament, the president discusses the country’s priorities in domestic politics and foreign policy as well as the main economic challenges.
Since 2014, President Rahmon has addressed the parliament in January but not in April as he had done before.
The address was reportedly brought forward in connection with the fact that since 2014 a financial year has started on January 1 and not April 1 as it was before.
