Dear media representatives,

Ladies and gentlemen,

First of all, I would like to once again welcome the distinguished Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, His Excellency Imran Khan, on his arrival in Tajikistan, and express gratitude for the official visit to our country.

Our negotiations have traditionally passed in an atmosphere of friendship and absolute mutual understanding.

"Dear Colleagues!

I agree with the assessments voiced that today adverse processes in the sphere of military-political security are growing in international relations.

Also, we must not forget that we are still in a dangerous phase of the pandemic.

The pandemic, unprecedented in its scale and consequences, has led to a protracted global socio-economic crisis, which, without exaggeration, has an impact on our security as well.
