New Ambassador of Tajikistan to London

On December 15th, 2021, President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, appointed His Excellency, Mrs. Ruhshona Rahmonova, as the country’s ambassador to United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Tajikistan is one of the Central Asian countries, located between Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and the People’s Republic of China. Among the Central Asian countries, Tajikistan has the smallest land area, with a stable economy base and relatively simple structure. The political and economic crisis after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 and many years of civil war severely damaged Tajikistan’s national economy. Since 1997, the economy has gradually picked up, and new currencies have been issued since the beginning of the 21st century to stabilize and improve the national financial system. The Government of Tajikistan continued to pursue macroeconomic stabilization and structural reform and they announced that small-enterprise privatization had been successfully completed. The continued privatization of medium-sized and large SOEs, land reform, banking reform and restructuring remain top priorities for Tajikistan.

In 2016, H.E. Mrs. Ruhshona, who was in her thirties, worked in the Tajik Embassy in London for a period of time, and was then assigned to a senior position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dushanbe. She is married to Shamsullo Sohibov, a local businessman with business in different sectors of activity.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that as of September 2021, the Republic of Tajikistan has established diplomatic relations with 180 countries, and the British Secretary of State for International Development has also once visited Tajikistan.

Therefore, it is a golden opportunity for Mrs. Ruhshona Rahmonova to be appointed as New Ambassador of Tajikistan to London. Because this is beneficial to her personal development, as well as to the country’s diplomatic relations with U.K.
