Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

September 8, 2024

On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, it is my pleasure to wish the people of Tajikistan a heartfelt congratulations as Tajikistan marks 33 years of independence on September 9.

The United States remains steadfast in our commitment to supporting Tajikistan's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. We are proud of the strides we have made in our bilateral relationship over the past three decades, and we look forward to working together even more closely to further enhance economic cooperation, promote environmental stewardship, address our shared security interests, expand people-to-people ties, and foster human rights.

On this special day, we commend our Tajik partners as they work to realize a more prosperous, interconnected, and secure future for their people and the region.

My sincerest congratulations as you celebrate your independence.
