Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, has praised the strong and growing ties between Iran and Tajikistan, citing shared cultural, linguistic, and historical roots as a foundation for closer cooperation.

IRNA reports that speaking to Iranian media upon his return to Tehran on November 26, Takht-Ravanchi described his two-day visit to Tajikistan as productive, highlighting high-level meetings with Tajik officials aimed at strengthening bilateral relations.

"I returned to Tehran after a two-day visit to Tajikistan. In Dushanbe, I met with Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin and Minister of Culture Matlubakhon Sattoriyon. I also held political consultations with Deputy Foreign Minister Farrukh Sharifzoda," the Iranian diplomat posted on social media platform X.

"Iran and Tajikistan are blessed with strong bonds of friendship rooted in our common language, culture, civilization, history, and religion. In all meetings, both sides expressed their determination to build on these commonalities to further strengthen our ties," he added, sharing photos from his engagements in Dushanbe.

Takht-Ravanchi and his delegation reportedly arrived in the Tajik capital on November 24 for the third round of Iran-Tajikistan political consultations. During the talks, the two sides discussed a broad range of topics, including bilateral cooperation, regional security, and international developments.

The visit reflects ongoing efforts by both governments to boost diplomatic and cultural ties, with an emphasis on long-standing historical and linguistic connections.
