The message reads, in part:
“Your country is successfully advancing on the path of socioeconomic development and playing a constructive role in the resolution of important issues on the regional and international agenda.
Relations between Russia and Tajikistan are built on the principles of strategic partnership and alliance. Fruitful bilateral cooperation in various spheres is gaining momentum, and our coordination of efforts as part of the CIS, OSCE, SOC and other multilateral structures brings its rewards.
I am convinced that expanding the entire range of the Russia-Tajikistan ties fully meets the interests of our friendly nations and is in line with the strengthening of peace, security and stability in Central Asia.”
