On March 26, the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, and the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, officially inaugurated the new building of the Tajik Embassy in Tashkent during a ceremony held as part of Rahmon’s state visit to Uzbekistan.
The Tajik president’s official website says the opening took place in a formal setting, with the two leaders unveiling a symbolic plaque to mark the inauguration of the modern diplomatic facility.
National anthems of both Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were performed in honor of the occasion, followed by the raising of the Tajik national flag at the embassy.
After the ceremony, the two presidents toured the new embassy complex and signed the guest book, expressing their commitment to further strengthening friendly, brotherly and good-neighborly relations between the two countries.
Diplomatic relations between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were established on October 22, 1992. The Embassy of Uzbekistan currently operates in Dushanbe.
The opening of the new Tajik embassy building follows the inauguration of Uzbekistan’s embassy in Dushanbe on April 19, 2024, which was also attended by both presidents during Mirziyoyev’s state visit to Tajikistan.
