President of Tajikistan, H.E. Emomali Rahmon, will pay a two-day visit to Pakistan on 2-3 June 2021 at the invitation of Prime Minister Imran Khan. He will be accompanied by a high-level delegation, said the Foreign Office (FO) in a statement.

According to the details, during the visit, Prime Minister Imran Khan and President Rahmon will lead their respective sides in the delegation-level talks. The two sides will exchange views on deepening bilateral cooperation in diverse areas — including political, economic, trade, investment, energy, security and defense, culture, education, and regional connectivity.

A number of Agreements/MoUs are expected to be signed during the visit. The visiting dignitary will separately meet with President Dr. Arif Alvi.

"Pakistan and Tajikistan enjoy close brotherly relations underpinned by the commonality of faith, shared history and cultural affinities." the FO said and added, "these ties are characterized by mutual respect, shared perceptions, and a common desire to promote peace, stability, and development in the region."

It is important to mention that President Rahmon has visited Pakistan seven times since 1994. His last bilateral visit was in November 2015.
