According to the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, on August 22, Deputy Foreign Minister of Tajikistan Sodik Imomi met with the head of the Iran-Tajikistan friendship group in the Iranian parliament, Jalil Rahimi Jahanabadi.

The press service of the Tajik MFA did not provide details, other than stating that “the conversation took place in a friendly atmosphere,” where “issues of mutual interest were discussed.”

In recent years, relations between Tajikistan and Iran have been tense. A new chapter in the relations between Tajikistan and Iran began in 2021. In particular, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, relations between Tehran and Dushanbe improved even further.

Jalil Rahimi Jahanabadi is also a member of the Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy of Iran.

Additionally, in the past six months, several high-ranking representatives of security services and military officials have also visited Tajikistan.
