The message reads, in part:
“Under your leadership as head of state, you have earned the deep respect of your people and gained well-deserved recognition on the international stage. Due to your efforts, Tajikistan continues to make impressive progress in the social and economic spheres while steadily strengthening its global standing.
Your personal contribution to fostering the strategic partnership and alliance between our countries is immense. Of course, we remain committed to continuing our active cooperation on current issues across bilateral, regional, and international agendas. I am confident that our upcoming meeting in Dushanbe will be both constructive and productive, further advancing the full scope of mutually beneficial Russian-Tajik relations and strengthening of the Commonwealth of Independent States.”
