Chairman of the Committee for Tourism Development of the Republic of Tajikistan Muminzod Kamoliddin affirmed that the visit of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani to Dushanbe is of great importance due to various issues that will be on the table of discussions between the leaderships of the two countries, which would enhance cooperation in all sectors, including tourism.

In an interview with Qatar News Agency (QNA), HE said that the Tajik side attaches great importance to the visit of HH the Amir for several considerations, including that the visit reflects the distinguished bilateral relations, as well as an opportunity to discuss joint investment projects, in which the two countries can engage and benefit all, such as energy projects, food security, tourism, trade, and economy.

He expected HH the Amir’s visit to Dushanbe would witness the signing of many agreements in various fields covering trade, agriculture, energy, investment, and tourism, which is currently an important priority in Tajikistan, affirming his country’s desire to enhance tourism cooperation with Qatar, and exchange expertise, experiences, and joint investments in this field.

Kamoliddin explained that the tourism sector in Tajikistan is currently in the process of growth, as the Committee of Tourism Development was established in 2017, pointing to the need to benefit from the pioneering experience of the State of Qatar in the field of tourism, especially after the great success achieved by hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, during which it showed tremendous capabilities in the field of tourism, hospitality, and services.

HE Chairman of the Committee for Tourism Development described the relations between the Republic of Tajikistan and the State of Qatar as fraternal based on mutual respect, especially since Qatar was the first country in the Arab Gulf to recognize the independence of Tajikistan and the first Arab country to invest in his country through the Diar Dushanbe project, as well as by building the largest mosque in Central Asia, which stands as an important Islamic edifice that reflects the closeness between the two countries.

He expressed confidence that the visit of HH the Amir to Dushanbe will contribute to strengthening cooperation in various sectors, including the cultural, social, and humanitarian fields, as the two countries and peoples have many common denominators in religion, history, and culture, and therefore are considered factors and incentives to further enhance cooperation.

HE expressed his desire for his country to have Qatar’s support in developing the tourism sector by investing in various tourism projects, including hotels, resorts, and tourist centers, as well as investment in projects that benefit both parties, especially since the two countries have enormous potential to invest in human capital and natural resources.

At the end of his interview with QNA, Chairman of the Committee for Tourism Development of the Republic of Tajikistan also expressed his hope that an agreement would be reached between the two countries to operate direct flights between Doha and Dushanbe, as this would open the door to ease of travel for businessmen and tourists, and get acquainted closely with what distinguishes the countries, especially that Tajikistan has granted Qatari citizens the privilege of being exempted from entry visas and staying for a whole month in Tajikistan for tourism and business purposes.
