The media holding Asia-Plus celebrates the 30th anniversary of its founding. On April 2, 1996, the first issue of the information and analytical bulletin of our news agency was published — this date is considered the birthday of Asia-Plus.
We are congratulated on this anniversary by the chairman of the Tax Committee under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, Nusratullo Davlatzoda:
“The Tax Committee under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan warmly congratulates the team and leadership of the media group Asia-Plus on the anniversary — the 30th anniversary of its founding.
Three decades is a long journey of responsibility, professionalism, and dedication to journalistic principles. Since 1995, when the first issue of the information and analytical bulletin was registered, and since 2000, when the printed newspaper was launched, Asia-Plus has confidently taken leading positions among independent media in Tajikistan, becoming a source of news.
During this time, Asia-Plus has become a symbol of responsible journalism, timely coverage of events, and profound analytical content. Your materials are used by government institutions, international organizations, diplomatic missions, and the business community, while the information portal remains one of the most visited and authoritative resources in the country.
It is important to note the significant awards and recognitions that have confirmed the high professional level of your team: the Tajikistan Union of Journalists award named after A. Lohuti, presented to the newspaper, notable victories of journalists at the prestigious Media CAMP Award in 2021, where representatives of your editorial team were recognized in several categories for the best journalistic materials, as well as the long-standing recognition of the newspaper’s work as a source of timely and reliable news with the highest circulation among socio-political publications in the republic.
As your editors rightly said, “…the newspaper has become not just a source of information — it has become a reflection of our history, the voice of society, and a place of strength for talented journalists.”
On this significant day, we express our deep respect to your media family for its contribution to strengthening information sovereignty, developing the professional community, and nurturing a new generation of journalists.
We wish the media group Asia-Plus further success, creative inspiration, technical innovations, and the continuation of its role as the leading voice of independent and responsible journalism in Tajikistan and beyond. May your achievements continue to serve as an example of high journalistic mastery and service to society.”
