In Tajikistan capital, Dushanbe, today (5 Jul) as part of his visit to Central Asia, Secretary-General António Guterres said he was “heartened” that Central Asia is choosing “a path of solidarity and coming together around common solutions,” adding that Tajikistan “is a critical part of this, with a remarkable leadership.”
The Secretary-General held a bilateral meeting with the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon discussing UN -Tajikistan cooperation on climate, sustainable development and counter-terrorism, as well as regional security in Central Asia.
In a press encounter after the meeting, Guterres said “our global family in the world has lived through challenge after challenge.”
“From the COVID-19 pandemic, to increasing geo-political divisions and conflict, to the worsening climate crisis,” he said, “these challenges remind us that the only sustainable path forward is dialogue and cooperation.”
The Secretary-General highlighted that full respect for human rights is also a solid base for peace, security and development. Throughout, he urged countries across the region to continue engaging with UN human rights mechanisms and recommendations, and to ensure that the rights of all groups are protected, and that all voices are represented.
He said, “Tajikistan is making progress on the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those on hunger, health, and energy. Our Country Team stands ready to support your priorities with analysis, expertise and the resources we will be able to mobilize.”
In the afternoon, the Secretary-General visited an Adolescent Innovations Lab at a school established in 2023 by the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), with funding support from the European Union. He met with youths from the Young People Advisory Group and Youth for Water and Climate Network.
Soon after the visit, the Secretary-General departed to Turkmenistan, the last country in his visit to Central Asia.
