Foreign Policy

Tajikistan relies on Russia as its primary security guarantor, hosting a major Russian military base (201st Military Base). It participates in the CSTO and SCO but has also sought Chinese investment for infrastructure and border security. Relations with Uzbekistan have improved after decades of tension over water and energy. The Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan in 2021 heightened Tajikistan's security concerns, as Rahmon has been the most vocal Central Asian critic of the Taliban, partly due to solidarity with Afghanistan's ethnic Tajik minority.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Tajikistan, prioritize security and development issues. Emphasize the threat from Afghan instability and narcotics trafficking to secure international attention and aid.

Advocate for water rights as an upstream country and defend hydropower development (Rogun Dam) against downstream objections. Coordinate with CSTO allies on counterterrorism. Seek development assistance for poverty reduction and infrastructure. On Afghanistan, push for inclusive governance that represents ethnic Tajiks. Raise concerns about border security and drug trafficking as shared international challenges. Deflect human rights criticism by citing security imperatives.
