HH The Amir holds talks with Tajikistan President, oversees signing of several agreements
HH The Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani met with Tajikistan President Emomali Rahmon at the presidential palace — the Palace of the Nation — in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, on Thursday.
The meeting came as part of HH The Amir’s visit to different Central Asian countries. The Qatari leader had earlier made state visits to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan before arriving in Tajikistan for high-level talks.
The Tajik president, who welcomed Sheikh Tamim to his country, said 2024 would see the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Qatar and Tajikistan. He also expressed hopes that the two countries could strengthen their relations in various fields.

HH The Amir stressed Qatar’s keenness in strengthening relations between the two nations, saying the inauguration of the Grand Mosque in Dushanbe on Thursday was a testament of their strong friendship. The Grand Mosque in Dushanbe was funded by Qatar as a gift to the Tajik people.
