The Tajik Defence Minister commended the professionalism and achievements of the Pakistan Armed Forces in counterterrorism operations and peacekeeping efforts.
Earlier, a tri-services contingent presented a Guard of Honour to the visiting dignitary.
The visit underscores the growing defence partnership between Pakistan and Tajikistan and highlights their mutual commitment to fostering security, stability, and development across the broader Central and South Asian region.
In August, Pakistan and Tajikistan held a Joint Counter Terrorism Exercise Dosti-ll at Fakhrobod Base, Tajikistan.
