During the ceremony, Mr. Takayuki Miyashita made a following remark “the Government of Japan has worked with Tajik people in various fields, especially in the field of education. This is because the Japanese learned that education is the foundation of national development from the history of our country. Currently, the Embassy of Japan has built 50 schools in Tajikistan in collaboration with the local governments. We hope that the school buildings constructed by these 2 projects will help children learn in a comfortable environment and drive the future development of Tajikistan.”
The Government of Japan is dedicated to continuing its support for creating a better society for all people and committed to working together with the people of Tajikistan.
