On the occasion of the National Holiday of Tajikistan - the Independence Day, I wish you and your people peace, happiness and prosperity.

Last year in November was held a final withdrawal of the French Aviation Regiment from Dushanbe airport, which was deployed in Tajikistan since 2001 to support our troops in Afghanistan, for this gesture and this support, I once again express my gratitude.

French companies are showing increased interest in your country, as evidenced by a business forum with the delegation of French companies in the month of April in the city of Dushanbe, where they were well received.

I hope that our economic cooperation, which has significantly marked the contribution of French investment projects in sectors, such as hydrocarbons and retail trade, will also continue to strengthen and expand in the interests of our two countries.

Please accept, Mr. President, the assurances of my highest consideration. "

Tajikistan plays an active role in strengthening international cooperation through UNESCO. Indeed, I recall the successful organization of the High-Level International Conference on the Implementation of the International Decade for Action “Water for Life” 2005-2015, which was held in Dushanbe from 9 to 11 June 2015 and that, I am confident, will contribute significantly to raising the profile of water issues on the international development agenda. Allow me to say again how gratified I am by your personal commitment, as well as by that of your Government, in this important domain.

I was delighted to visit your country in 2013 and to witness our excellent cooperation. You may rest assured that I shall spare no effort to enhance this close relationship.
