On October 24, in Kazan, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Leader of the Nation, Honorable Emomali Rahmon, took part and spoke at the meeting “BRICS+”and “BRICS and the Global South: Jointly Building a Better World”.

In his speech, the Head of our state, Emomali Rahmon, drew the attention of the leaders of the states participating in the summit to the pressing issues and current realities of the international situation.

Emomali Rahmon emphasized that today, more than ever, it is necessary to consolidate efforts in order to ensure lasting peace, security, stability and sustainable development.

In this context, the Head of our state recalled his new proposal to the UN General Assembly to adopt a special resolution – “Decade of Strengthening Peace for Future Generations” and expressed hope that this initiative will receive comprehensive support.

In connection with the threats of international terrorism, extremism, radicalism, cybercrime, illegal arms and drug trafficking, as well as other types of cross-border organized crime, President Emomali Rahmon, noted: “Tajikistan has consistently advocated for expanding cooperation with all international partners in the fight against these challenges and threats”.

It was also emphasized that for these purposes, our country actively promotes multilateral cooperation in the fight against terrorism and its financing within the framework of the “Dushanbe Process”.

Concern was expressed over the extremely negative development of the situation in the Middle East and the escalation of conflicts that have led to numerous victims among the civilian population.

The Head of our state expressed confidence that any contentious issues, conflicts and disputes can be resolved by political and diplomatic means. Another problem that the President of our country drew attention to is the consequences of climate change and destructive natural disasters.

The Head of our state recalled that in May of next year, our country, in accordance with the resolution of the UN General Assembly, plans to hold in Dushanbe the International High-Level Conference on the Preservation of Glaciers and invited the heads of state to take part in this important international event.

President Emomali Rahmon called it extremely important to take practical steps for a real transition to a “green” economy, the most important component of which is "green" energy. It was noted that only broad, interested interaction can create favorable living conditions for our future generations in our common home - planet Earth. The key to achieving this noble goal is the further development of the dialogue of civilizations.
