In the heart of Dushanbe, Rudaki Avenue now boasts two striking white buildings that seamlessly blend classical European architecture with Islamic cultural elements and modern designs. These structures, designated for Tajikistan's government and parliament, are a testament to the strengthened political trust and economic cooperation between China and Tajikistan.
The collaboration kicked off in September 2017 when Tajikistan's President Emomali Rahmon signed a grant aid construction agreement in Beijing, marked by its no-strings-attached approach. Fast forward two years, during Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Tajikistan, both leaders proudly unveiled the project models, symbolizing the deepened ties fostered through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
This partnership not only enhances Tajikistan's infrastructure but also paves the way for increased economic opportunities and regional stability, reinforcing the strategic alliance between the two nations.
