He stressed that the country’s priorities include ensuring a decent standard of living, strengthening security and the rule of law, maintaining peace and stability, and developing education, culture, and healthcare.
Special attention was paid to the role of youth in the country’s development. Gulmahmadzoda noted that the professions Tajik students are acquiring abroad are in demand in Tajikistan and encouraged them to take full advantage of the educational opportunities offered by Russian universities, including improving their professional skills and learning foreign languages.
The ambassador also called on students to uphold national values, foster patriotism, and actively oppose extremism and terrorism. He urged them not to succumb to provocations and to prevent the involvement of young people in extremist and radical organizations.
In addition, Gulmahmadzoda emphasized the importance of respecting the traditions and cultural values of the host country and strictly observing Russian law.
The embassy recalled that earlier the ambassador had met with Tajik citizens at Moscow’s Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo airports, where issues related to the protection of Tajik nationals’ rights in Russia and their timely return home were discussed.
During those meetings, the diplomat stressed the need to comply with Russian legislation, prevent criminal incidents involving Tajik citizens, counter extremism and youth radicalization, and promote responsible use of social media.
