  1. “In accordance with its international obligations, Tajikistan is taking the necessary measures to combat terrorism and extremism. We are party to all the United Nations conventions and other foundational international and regional instruments in this area. I would like to take this opportunity to invite participants in today's meeting to participate in the high-level event entitled "International and regional cooperation on countering terrorism and its financing through illicit drug trafficking and organized crime", which is to be held on 27 September in Conference Room 7. The event has been organized by the Republic of Tajikistan in cooperation with the Office of Counter- Terrorism and builds on the outcome of the high-level conference on countering the financing of terrorism, held in Dushanbe in May.”

  2. “It is well known that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is one of the most dynamically developing international organizations and that it has a huge potential for countering such challenges. As a full-fledged member of the United Nations, the CIS, the CSTO and the SCO, Tajikistan consistently contributes to the implementation of those organizations' programmes and strategies in countering the challenges and threats of our time. We believe that the response to the increasing threat of terrorism must be comprehensive and that the United Nations must be a key coordinator. The United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, the relevant Security Council resolutions and United Nations counter-terrorism conventions form the basis of our collective struggle against terrorism.”

  3. “It has also been working to strengthen its peacekeeping capacity and address the consequences of natural and human-made disasters. The agenda for cooperation between these two organizations is very diverse and allows for addressing a wide range of issues through sharing information, organized visits, participation in conferences and events, while taking advantage of both organizations' potential. It is important to note the important role that CSTO plays in helping ensure security on Tajikistan's southern border with Afghanistan. In that context, we believe that, with the United Nations playing the central role in resolving the situation in Afghanistan through political dialogue as soon as possible, coordinated efforts are one of the key factors to strengthening security in the region.”

  4. “I should like to note that, during its 2018 chairmanship of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the Republic of Tajikistan focused on importance of strengthening cooperation between CIS member States and other international and regional organizations on countering such challenges and threats. We also made efforts to step up the role played by the CIS in addressing issues related to ensuring security and stability and improving the work of CIS bodies to combat terrorism, extremism, drug trafficking and economic crime. As was noted earlier, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is making efforts and a significant contribution to combating terrorism, extremism, organized transnational crime, illicit trafficking in narcotics and weapons, illegal migration, and illegal trafficking in human beings.”

  5. “Mr. Muhriddin (Tajikistan) (spoke in Russian): First of all, I would like to thank the Russian delegation, which is presiding this month over the Security Council and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), for convening today's timely meeting. In recent years, the rapidly changing situation in the world has been accompanied by an increase in tensions and armed conflicts and new challenges and threats to international security. The expanding cross- border nature of terrorism, extremism, drug trafficking and organized crime is a matter of grave concern, as is the rise in the number of returning foreign terrorist fighters. I am convinced that, only through joint efforts, will countries be able to effectively counter terrorist and extremist organizations, which are deftly implementing modern technologies and methods.”

  6. “This event will serve as a platform for an exchange of views and deliberations on the complex issues and multifaceted problems related to countering terrorism and its financing.

In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that Tajikistan stands ready to engage in an open and constructive dialogue in this area.”

  7. “Given the long-term experience of the Republic of Tajikistan in peacebuilding and in preventing and combating terrorism, we are planning, in cooperation with the relevant United Nations agencies and other international and regional organizations, to hold 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. The goals of the conference are: to promote and strengthen international and regional cooperation; to identify effective measures to combat the financing of terrorism; and to promote expert discussions on the response to the changing forms of financing used by terrorists for their activities, including through illegal drug trafficking and organized crime.”

  8. “We believe that efforts should be focused on eliminating the military infrastructure of international terrorism, depriving it of political, military and financial support; and on preventing the use of the Internet for the radicalization of minds, recruitment and propaganda on extremism and violence. Drug trafficking as one of the channels for financing terrorism and violence is yet another challenge that is causing deep concern in the region and across the world. Combating illicit drug trafficking requires concerted and coordinated action at the regional and international levels. There is still a need for extensive international cooperation to counter narcotics.”

  9. “One of the steps in the implementation of that resolution is the adoption of the national strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan on countering extremism and terrorism for 2016-2020, approved by presidential decree on 12 November 2016. The goals of the strategy include increasing the efficiency of the competent agencies' interaction on preventing and combating the manifestations of terrorism, extremism, drug trafficking and legalization of the income generated through crime that provide a source of financing terrorism and extremism. The implementation of the strategy involves civil- society institutions and is based on international and regional cooperation.”

  10. “The law-enforcement agencies of Tajikistan and Afghanistan have been closely cooperating in addressing these complex problems. We support the constructive efforts of the international community and the Government of neighbouring Afghanistan aimed at building lasting peace and stability. The current situation requires that the countries of the region take more robust action and make firm commitments by facilitating regional cooperation and partnership. We are committed to continuing to contribute to this process. Specific measures have also been taken in Tajikistan to implement resolution 2178 (2014), of 2014, which calls on States to prevent and counter the financing of foreign terrorist fighter travel and activities.”

  11. “Moreover, our assessment indicated that drug-related crimes have become a significant source of illicit funds that can make contribute considerably to money-laundering and the financing of terrorism. Stability and security in Tajikistan and in the entire Central Asian region are, to a great extent, related to and depend on the situation in Afghanistan. Tajikistan shares a long border with Afghanistan and remains concerned at the current situation in the border territories of Afghanistan. Intensified activities on the part of terrorist groups, including the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham, in the northern districts of the country, against the backdrop of a significant influx of narcotics and weapons, is a matter of great concern.”

  12. “Those measures including the approval of the National Concept on Countering Money-laundering, the Financing of Terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction for 2018-2025, and the plan for its implementation adopted on 5 March 2018. Following the Financial Action Task Force guidance on national money laundering and terrorist financing risk assessments, Tajikistan implemented a similar assessment between April 2015 and September 2017. The assessment indicated that methods of laundering the funds generated through illegal activities have become more sophisticated and that the volume of terrorist financing has increased. In addition to such funds, advanced technologies are being employed in the process of financing terrorism.”

  13. “At the outset, I would like to congratulate France on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council. We welcome the convening today of an open debate on such an important topic as combating the financing of terrorism. Terrorism and its financing, as well as illicit drug trafficking and organized crime, continue to pose major threats to international peace and security. Moreover, they undermine regional and international efforts to ensure stability, economic and social development, and respect for fundamental human rights. Acknowledging the seriousness of the aforementioned threats, the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan has been taking decisive and comprehensive measures aimed at preventing and combating terrorism, in particular its financing.”
