1:24:29Now PlayingA Look at Past Achievements and the Path Forward
February marks 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Republic of Tajikistan. Over those three decades, the U.S.-Tajik bilateral relationship has evolved and developed into a strong partnership on security, economic, energy and people-to-people cooperation that has made significant contributions to regional connectivity and energy issues. Tajikistan is also a member of the C5+1 regional diplomatic platform, which brings together the five republics of Central Asia and the United States to enhance cooperation and coordination on the shared goal of an independent, prosperous and secure Central Asia. In recognition of American support to Tajikistan, USAID recently opened a full mission in Tajikistan.
Major global and regional developments over the past year — including the U.S withdrawal from Afghanistan — are factors in the path forward. While great bilateral progress has been made, Tajikistan’s economic growth has slowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of these global and regional events will create additional challenges as Tajikistan aims to address its economic and development needs.
Join USIP as we recognize 30 years of bilateral relations between the United States and Tajikistan. This conversation brings together current officials and leading experts to examine new opportunities and challenges during this highly fluid period in the region.
