Russia views Tajikistan as a reliable and close partner, Russian Ambassador to Tajikistan Semyon Grigoryev said, underscoring Moscow’s commitment to strengthening bilateral ties with Dushanbe.

The ambassador noted that the level of political cooperation between Russia and Tajikistan remains high and stable, with relations built on strategic partnership and alliance, a solid legal framework, and mutual respect for each other’s interests, The Caspian Post reports via Tajik media.

Russia is committed to the consistent strengthening of bilateral relations in the spirit of friendship, alliance, and mutual consideration of interests,” the ambassador said.
