Emomali Rahmon has departed for Qatar

The President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, has traveled to Qatar to participate in the World Summit.

According to state media, on November 3, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, departed on a working visit to the State of Qatar to participate in the Second World Summit on Social Development.

As reported by the president’s press service, after participating in the summit, Emomali Rahmon will travel from Qatar to Washington at the invitation of U.S. President Donald Trump. The purpose of President Rahmon’s visit to the United States is to participate in the Summit of the Heads of State of Central Asia and the U.S.

Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump invited the presidents of Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan to participate in the “Central Asia+U.S.” (“C5+1”) summit, which will take place on November 6 in Washington.

This is the second meeting of the heads of state of Central Asia and the U.S. to be held in the United States.

The first “C5+1” summit took place in September 2023 in New York during the 78th session of the UN, when Joe Biden was the President of the United States.

The main goal of this summit is to discuss regional and bilateral relations, regional security issues, trade and economic relations, and to strengthen cooperation in the “C5+1” format.
