According to the press service of the Tajik Foreign Ministry, on March 7, 2023, the newly appointed Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the United States to Tajikistan, Manuel P. Mikaller, presented a copy of his credentials to the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, Muzaffar Khusainzoda.

During the conversation, the parties exchanged views on the current state and prospects for the development of bilateral relations between Tajikistan and the United States, as well as other relevant issues of mutual interest, the statement noted.

According to general rules of diplomatic relations, the quality of good and sincere relations between countries is determined by the level at which copies of ambassadors’ credentials are accepted in the host countries. The fact that the copy of the ambassador’s credentials is accepted at the level of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs indicates that relations between the countries are cool.

For example, although Tajikistan has not officially opposed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to attract the attention of Western countries, President Emomali Rahmon recently received a copy of the credentials of the Ukrainian ambassador in Dushanbe.
