DUSHANBE, December 28, 2009, Asia-Plus -- As it had been reported earlier, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will arrive in Tajikistan on January 6, 2010 on an official two-day visit.

Davlat Nazri, the head of the Tajik MFA information department, told Asia-Plus today that the course of implementation of cooperation agreements reached between Tajikistan and Iran to this day will figure in Ahmadinejad’s discussions with high-ranking Tajik state officials.
