UN General Assembly
2022

For its part, Tajikistan has undertaken several measures in that direction. We have, among other things, adopted our National Strategy and Action Plan of the Republic of Tajikistan on Countering Terrorism and Extremism for 2021-2025 and expressed our readiness to tackle this issue. Tajikistan strongly believes that small States should also have a greater chance to contribute to finding solutions for maintaining peace and security. Hence, following years of contributions to multilateralism through active participation in United Nations activities and processes and having unique experience in peacemaking and insightful knowledge about Afghanistan, the time has come for Tajikistan to seek, for the first time, a non-permanent seat on the Security Council for 2028-2029. We are looking forward to working closely with all Member States to gain trust and support for that vital campaign.
