  1. “The upcoming commemoration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the United Nation, in September, will provide an opportunity to reaffirm our collective commitment to multilateralism and to the United Nations. In this regard, we are looking forward to adopting a unifying declaration that captures Member States shared vision for a common future. In conclusion, I would like to underscore that as an advocate of broad-based cooperation, Tajikistan believes that only collective and coordinated efforts and effective regional and international cooperation can serve as a foundation of our common success in maintaining peace and security. The mutual understanding and cooperation that have prevailed in this Organization since its establishment remain the only path towards a bright and clear future and universal peace and prosperity.”

  2. “The United Nations, regional organizations and other partners — such as the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and others — played a successful and important role in achieving a peace process in Tajikistan. Upon the successful completion of the mission of the United Nations Tajikistan Office of Peacebuilding, the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia was established in Ashgabat. Today it promotes dialogue between the Governments of the countries of the region on finding solutions on how to address emerging problems and eliminate potential threats to peace and security.”

  3. “My country had to face such challenges in the initial stages of establishing itself as a sovereign State. The consequences were deplorable. The five years of imposed civil war claimed extensive human casualties, displaced a million people and caused enormous economic devastation. But as a result of successful progress in peacebuilding, we managed to deal with those difficulties. Over the past two decades, under the leadership of President Emomali Rahmon, the country has come a long way and, despite many challenges, succeeded in achieving peace, stability and sustainable development. We are proud of these accomplishments. One of the main lessons that can be drawn from our experience is that it is only through cooperation and joint actions that we will win the fight against the forces of evil and global threats.”

  4. “The current situation requires all countries to take more robust action and make firm commitments by facilitating region cooperation and partnerships based on fair, effective and mutually beneficial economic relations. My country, Tajikistan, therefore calls on all those concerned to maximize their efforts towards a speedy and full settlement to the long-standing and current conflicts in different parts of parts of the world, and especially in the Middle East. The United Nations plays a key role in coordinating Member States’ efforts in order to effectively meet the challenges of our time and attain the Sustainable Development Goals. The notion of war and peace is not alien to Tajikistan. From their own experience, the Tajik people are well aware what death, devastation and pain war can cause.”

  5. “We fully subscribe to what the Secretary-General has said: “Peace, justice, human dignity, tolerance and solidarity are enshrined in the Charter and bind us together”. Indeed, we can succeed only if we work together. During the existence of the United Nations, the world has made considerable progress in technological, information, economic and social development, which through globalization is spreading across the world. However, the negative aspects of such phenomena as international terrorism, extremism, transnational organized crime, drug trafficking and the exacerbation of environmental issues pose a serious threat to the international community.”

  6. “At the outset, I would like to congratulate Viet Nam on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council. I also express my appreciation for the convening of today’s open debate on such an important topic as upholding the Charter of the United Nations to maintain international peace and security. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General and the Chair of The Elders for their constructive briefings. Maintaining peace and security is an issue of top priority for the entire international community. For this reason, in order to stop wars and settle conflicts the international community must shoulder its responsibility to undertake urgent collective measures. The norms and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations retain their fundamental significance in international relations.”

  7. “One of the lessons we learned from the history of Afghanistan over the past two decades is that terrorism and extremism cannot be eradicated through military means alone. Socioeconomic expansion and Afghanistan's integration into the regional economy are therefore one of the ways to eliminate the foundations of terrorism and extremist phenomena. In conclusion, let me reiterate Tajikistan's long- standing support for the constructive initiatives of the world community to ensure sustainable peace and the economic revival of Afghanistan, as well as its willingness to further strengthen cooperation with the Government of Afghanistan and international partners in the future. Moreover, we wish Afghanistan every success in holding peaceful, inclusive and transparent presidential elections this year.”

  8. “The objective of the Dushanbe conference was to promote strengthened international and regional cooperation and identify effective methods of countering the current challenges and threats. Last week, on 14 and 15 June, the capital city of Dushanbe hosted another significant event: the fifth Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-building Measures in Asia (CICA). Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Summit, the President of my Republic, His Excellency Mr. Emomali Rahmon, expressed concern over the difficult situation in neighbouring Afghanistan and called for taking effective measures and the further coordination of the efforts of the international community, including CICA member States, in that area.”

  9. “The countries of the region need to restrict the physical movement of terrorists in their territories and destroy their sources of financing. To tackle the issue of countering terrorism and its financing, Tajikistan, in cooperation with the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the European Union, hosted a high- level conference entitled "International and Regional Cooperation on Countering Terrorism and its Financing Through Illicit Drug Trafficking and Organized Crime" in Dushanbe on 16 and 17 May. More than 500 participants from 52 countries and 29 international and regional organizations, as well as representatives of the diplomatic corps, civil society and academia, attended the conference.”

  10. “That assistance should bring hope and constructive power to the people of Afghanistan so that they themselves become more committed to ensuring peace and stability and the socioeconomic revival of their country. In our view, the United Nations could play a stronger and more effective role in making further progress in that regard. We support the Afghan Government in its efforts to start an effective peace process as soon as possible. At the same time, we emphasize the need to stop the armed opposition groups from committing violence and break their ties with Al-Qaida and the Islamic State. The peace process is a key factor for the long-term stability and unity of Afghanistan. The security of Afghanistan and the region as a whole cannot be achieved without the eradication of terrorism and radicalism.”

  11. “The world community has been making substantial efforts to free Afghanistan of terrorism and extremism and to help it launch the phase of sustainable development. In that context, Tajikistan supports the implementation of the international strategy for the comprehensive solution and further reconstruction of Afghanistan. It is necessary to support the Government of Afghanistan, especially during the decade of reconstruction of Afghanistan, from 2015 to 2024. It is our view that international assistance should first and foremost meet the most basic needs of the people of Afghanistan to enjoy a decent life, education, their rights, social security and employment.”

  12. “That is due primarily to the continuing threat of international terrorism, religious extremism and illicit drug trafficking. Our particular concern is the trend of the propaganda activities and subversion being carried out by representatives and supporters of the Islamic State in Afghanistan. The activation of the supporters and militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant-Khorasan Province is happening against the backdrop of a significant flow of drugs, weapons and human resources. The further aggravation of the political situation in Afghanistan poses a real threat to the security of the entire region and will affect the functioning of the main transit routes through Afghanistan in the direction of Central Asia.”

  13. “At the outset, I would like to congratulate Kuwait on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council and express my appreciation for the convening of today's debate on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. I would also like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, Mr. Tadamichi Yamamoto, for his efforts and valuable observations, Ms. Sima Samar for her detailed briefing and my colleague the Ambassador of Afghanistan for her statement. Among the countries of the region, Tajikistan has a special relationship with Afghanistan. It is based on our common historical, spiritual and cultural values. With regard to the current political situation in Afghanistan, we all equally feel the growing security deficit in the region and beyond.”

  14. “We will continue to render assistance by training Afghan military and border guards, doctors and other specialists. To conclude, let me reiterate the readiness of my Government to further assist our brotherly country, Afghanistan, in overcoming the aforementioned challenges in order to ensure well-deserved peace, stability and development in the country. Moreover, I wish them every success in holding a peaceful, inclusive and transparent presidential election. They may rest assured that Tajikistan will continue to support the Government of Afghanistan as it implements its reform agenda to gain peace, development and self-reliance during the transformation decade.”

  15. “To that end, we consider the Regional Economic Cooperation Conference on Afghanistan and the Istanbul Process, the chairmanship ofwhich Tajikistan will assume in 2019, to be important platforms for establishing regional cooperation. To facilitate trade with Afghanistan, my country, with the assistance of the international community, has built five bridges and established two free economic zones along its border with Afghanistan, which has significantly increased trade between the two countries. Our cooperation with Afghanistan in the spheres of education and the training of personnel are both effective and fruitful. Hundreds of Afghan students are currently studying at the universities of Tajikistan. My Government has also decided to grant up to 1,000 educational quotas to citizens of Afghanistan by 2025.”

  16. “The construction of the Central Asia South Asia Electricity Transmission and Trade Project, the Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Tajikistan- Afghanistan-Pakistan electricity transmission line project and various hydropower plants, in particular the Sebzor hydroelectric power plant in the Badakhshan region of Tajikistan, as well as the construction of gas pipelines and transport corridors, would further contribute to the improvement of the living standards and well-being of the Afghan population. For many years, the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, has been actively advocating in different forums for more coordinated action and regional approaches to bring about prosperity and development in Afghanistan.”

  17. “In our opinion, developing comprehensive agricultural programmes and irrigation systems and providing electricity supplies in rural areas will ensure decent living conditions for the population and could significantly contribute to the decline of drug production in Afghanistan, as well as to solving the drought and food insecurity problems. Tajikistan, with its vast hydropower potential, could be very helpful in that sense by meeting the industrial demand of Afghanistan by providing it with stable and affordable electricity. In that regard, enhancing cooperation to implement regional hydropower projects is critical. It should be mentioned that Tajikistan exported approximately 1.4 billion kilowatt hours of electricity to Afghanistan in 2017 and plans to increase its export to over 1.5 billion kilowatt hours in the future.”

  18. “The Conference was particularly timely in the current context of strengthening regional cooperation in Central Asia, and we firmly believe that, based on our experience and the successful outcomes of the Dushanbe Conference, such dialogue should be continued. To that end, Tajikistan intends to host yet another high-level event on this issue next year and invites all stakeholders, in particular the United Nations and its relevant bodies, to join us in order to take joint and effective measures to counter terrorism and extremism.”

  19. “We welcome the outcome of the recent Geneva Ministerial Conference on Afghanistan, which led to renewed partnership and cooperation between the Government of Afghanistan and the international community with regard to Afghanistan's peace, prosperity and self-reliance midway through the transformation decade from 2015 to 2024. As the host of the High-level International Conference on Countering Terrorism and Preventing Violent Extremism in Dushanbe, on 3 and 4 May, we believe that particular emphasis should be placed on the importance of intensifying counter- terrorism cooperation and coordination, as well as information-sharing, border security, legal cooperation and the exchange of best practices.”

  20. “In our View, to effectively counter threats emanating from terrorist groups, strengthening international and regional security cooperation is therefore crucial. In that regard, Tajikistan's law enforcement agencies have been actively engaged with their colleagues from other Central Asian countries and Afghanistan in information-sharing, law enforcement and border control, in the frameworks of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Office on Drugs and Crime, the United Nations Development Programme, UNAMA, the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and other organizations.”

  21. “In spite of some progress, many challenges continue to exist in Afghanistan, the resolution of which requires additional efforts from the international community. In my statement, I would like to share some of our perspectives on how to address those challenges by utilizing the capacities and opportunities of neighbouring countries. Terrorism, transnational organized crime and drug trafficking could undermine the commitment of the region, as well as that of Afghanistan, to bring about sustainable development. If not addressed, they will become major obstacles on our way to the timely implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We express our great concern about the recent strengthening and activation of terrorist groups and their activities in the northern part of Afghanistan.”

  22. “We have very close cultural, historic and linguistic ties with that brotherly country, and that very fact makes it difficult for us to watch, from the other side of the Amu Darya, our Afghan brothers and sisters suffer because of the instability of the past several decades. I think that there is general consensus in the Chamber on the following three main messages: first, terrorism and extremism cannot be eliminated by the use of military force alone; secondly, the Afghan peace process should be Afghan-led and Afghan-owned; and thirdly, without stability in Afghanistan there will be no stability in the Central Asian region, nor will it be possible to achieve progress on social, economic and environmental issues. My delegation also fully subscribes to those points.”

  23. “At the outset, I would like to thank the Permanent Mission of C6te d'Ivoire to the United Nations for convening today's debate on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). I would also like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, Mr. Tadamichi Yamamoto, for his valuable observations and the important work being carried out by UNAMA in Afghanistan under his leadership. I would also like to express my gratitude to Under-Secretary-General Fedotov, Ambassador Kairat Umarov and Ms. Haress for their briefings, as well as the Ambassador of Afghanistan for his statement. Of all the Central Asian countries, Tajikistan shares the longest border - around 1,400 kilometres - with Afghanistan.”
