Vladimir Putin sent birthday greetings to President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon.
The message reads, in part:
“Your work as President of Tajikistan has been marked by the country's remarkable socioeconomic success and its stronger position on the global stage. You rightly enjoy great authority among your fellow citizens and abroad.
It would be hard to overestimate your personal contribution to the development of the strategic partnership and alliance between Tajikistan and Russia. I will be delighted to continue our constructive and friendly communication and our fruitful cooperation on the topical issues of the bilateral, regional and international agendas.
Please accept my heartfelt wishes of good health, happiness, prosperity and success.”
