Dushanbe, 26 June: Jordan's Queen Nur [al-Husayn] believes that Tajikistan is now at the turning period for transition to a new level of development, she told journalists following her talks with Tajik President Emomali Rahmonov. The meeting was held at the government Pugus country residence on Sunday [26 June].
She said economic development would lead Tajikistan to achieving its set objectives. "The government of the country has viewed the Millennium Development Goals very seriously and undertaken certain obligations, and the international community will assist in it achieving these goals. Tajikistan is a leading country in the region since it openly speaks about its existing problems," Nur said.
Her Majesty said that she would support all Tajikistan's initiatives and would help it obtain grants for the implementation of the [UN] Millennium project. She expressed confidence that Tajikistan would achieve all the goals set by the project before 2015.
