President Emomali Rahmon has made senior appointments in the Interior Ministry, according to the President Emoali Rahmon’s  official websote. .  

On January 9, President Emomali Rahmon held a meeting with officials newly appointed to senior positions within Tajikistan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, during which a wide range of personnel changes were approved across the ministry’s central and regional structures.

According to the president’s website, reshuffle affected leadership roles in the Interior Ministry’s central apparatus, regional departments, and transport units.

Notably, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Akbar Nasimzoda was relieved of his post due to retirement. He was replaced by Bahodour Kholiqzoda.

New appointments also included the chief of staff to the minister, heads of internal security, narcotics control, special units, and the zonal department for the Kulob region of Khatlon province. Other changes involved the national coordinator for police reform and the head of Tajikistan’s National Central Bureau of Interpol.

Personnel changes were made in local police departments in the cities and districts of Kulob, Abdurahmon-Jomi, Farkhor, Khovaling, Temurmalik, Jaloliddin-Balkhi, Vahdat, Roudaki, Fayzobod, Khujand, Jabbor-Rasoulov, Bouston, Zafarobod, Asht, Isfara, Bobojon-Ghafourov, Roshtqala, and the capital’s Somoni and Shohmansour districts.

Updates also affected the Interior Ministry’s transport divisions — including units at Dushanbe International Airport, the railway system, and the Interior Ministry’s office in Sughd province.

The president’s office emphasized that the newly appointed officials are young yet experienced professionals in the field.

During the meeting, Emomali Rahmon urged the newly appointed leaders to serve the nation with integrity and professionalism, to strictly uphold the law, and to promote legal awareness both within the police force and among the public.

He also stressed the importance of principled action in fighting crime — particularly transnational organized crime and drug trafficking, including the spread of synthetic substances.

The president reiterated that national interests, public safety, and peaceful life for citizens must always remain top priorities.
