On December 28, 2024, The Founder of the Peace and National Unity, Leader of the Nation, his excellency Emomali Rahmon delivered a comprehensive address that outlined the country’s vision for the upcoming year and beyond, centered on reinforcing social reforms, promoting a green economy, and embracing digital transformation. We have to admit that with such lack of resources and in a significant mountainous area, our country shows excellent results in economic growth. Of course, all these results are thanks to the clear and pragmatic policy of our esteemed president. This message, delivered before both national and international audiences, set forth a clear trajectory for the nation’s progress as it strives to meet its social and economic goals. The address highlighted the successes achieved so far while acknowledging the challenges that remain, underscoring the need for collective resolve, unity, and collaboration among every sector of society.
One of the most significant elements of the address is the emphasis on the President’s own hard work and dedication, having guided the country through challenging economic conditions and pressing social demands. Under his leadership, a series of reforms have been introduced to strengthen public services, stabilize fiscal health, and widen opportunities for citizens from all walks of life. The President’s commitment to inclusive governance can be seen in regular consultations with experts, constructive legislative debates, and active engagement with local communities—efforts that help identify real-world problems and craft targeted solutions.
In promoting a green economy, the President stressed the importance of environmentally conscious policies and the expansion of clean energy infrastructure. Plans for eco-friendly urban development, organic agriculture, and sustainable resource management are critical to mitigating environmental impacts while preserving the country’s natural wealth for future generations. The address underscored the need for forging international partnerships to adopt global best practices in environmental stewardship, positioning the nation as a regional leader in sustainable development. Emphasis was also placed on accelerating reforestation efforts, optimizing water usage, and investing in research and technology to reduce pollution.
Coupled with these measures is the focus on digitalization as a driving force to modernize key sectors such as education, healthcare, and finance. Programs aimed at improving internet connectivity, facilitating distance learning in remote regions, and enhancing e-governance platforms promise to deliver faster, more transparent public services. By expanding digital infrastructure and nurturing tech-oriented innovation hubs, the administration hopes to bridge the digital divide and create a workforce ready to compete on the global stage. Support for emerging startups and tech entrepreneurs is expected to attract foreign investment, create new job opportunities, and further integrate modern technology into daily life.
Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, the President’s address reassures citizens that the country will maintain a balanced trajectory of growth that is inclusive, environmentally responsible, and technologically advanced. Through tireless leadership, strategic planning, and a commitment to innovation, this roadmap not only promises economic advancement but also seeks to inspire a greater sense of unity and shared responsibility among government agencies, businesses, and local communities. By 2030, the nation aspires to become a model of equitable development, demonstrating that sustainable practices, inclusive policymaking, and forward-thinking technology adoption can collectively drive meaningful progress for all.
