Telephone conversation with President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon

During the phone call, Vladimir Putin thanked President Rahmon for his hospitality and the warm welcome during the President of Russia's state visit to Tajikistan. The Russian leader also took note of how well organised both recent events in Dushanbe were, including the second Russia-Central Asia summit and the CIS Heads of State Council meeting.

The two leaders praised their bilateral talks as constructive and substantive. The decisions made, as well as the large package of documents signed will undoubtedly give new momentum to the development of the strategic partnership and allied relationship between Russia and Tajikistan.
