DUSHANBE, December 8, Asia-Plus  -- Husein Anvari, head of Iran’s Imam Khomeini Relief Committee, heading a high-ranking Iranian delegation is arriving in Dushanbe today afternoon for a working visit. 

According the Iranian Embassy in Dushanbe, the delegation members include senior representatives from the charity and two Iranian MPs.  

During their stay in Tajikistan the delegation members are scheduled to hold talks with the Majlisi Namoyandagon (Tajikistan’s lower chamber of parliament) Chairman Saydullo Khairulloyev, Deputy Prime Minister Khairinisso Yusufi, Labor and Social Security Minister Shukurjon Zuhurov, and Tajik Public Relief Fund Director Talbak Nazarov. 

The talks will focus on state and prospects of further expansion of cooperation between Tajikistan and Iran’s relief committee and the committee’s activities in the country

Tomorrow, they will attend 100 weddings that will simultaneously take place in Kulob, the source said.   

We will recall that two such events were held in Dushanbe and another one was held in the Nourobod district, eastern Tajikistan.  Young men and women that were simultaneously married in Tajikistan are orphans or come from vulnerable or incomplete families, and therefore, weddings were held under support of Iran’s charity. 

The Iranian charity also plans to hold such events in Gorno Badakhshan and Sughd as well.
