The conference was attended by Nurullo Oqilzoda, Senior Advisor to the Executive Office of the Assistant to the President of the Republic of Tajikistan for Social Development and Public Relations, responsible representatives of ministries and government agencies, scientists and experts from research and analytical institutes and mass media.
The conference was opened by Khayriddin Usmonzoda, he welcomed the participants and congratulated them on the 33rd anniversary of the state independence, as well as informed the participants about the purpose of the conference.
Then Nurullo Oqilzoda, Senior Advisor to the Executive Office of the Assistant to the President of the Republic of Tajikistan for Social Development and Public Relations, made a speech, congratulated participants on the 33rd anniversary of state independence, and thanked the organisers of the conference, who held the event at a high and necessary level. In his speech, he noted the achievements of the independence period, the constructive and wise policy of the President of the country Emomali Rahmon and the initiatives of the government of the country in the world arena, stressing that the celebration of the 33rd anniversary is not only a celebration of the independence of the Tajik state, but also a celebration of national unity, creative work for the improvement and development of our beloved country-Tajikistan.
That is, during this period, through the tireless work of the citizens, we showed the world our great intellectual and physical strength, unwavering efforts in the direction of development, and the ability to overcome any obstacles on the way to achieving national goals.
In particular, adoption of 11 UN resolutions on the basis of Tajikistan’s initiatives and support of international initiatives of our country by the member countries of the organisation are the result of far-sighted and intellectual policy of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan.
In general, the country’s authority in the international arena, as well as the socio-political development of Tajikistan, show that we are on the threshold of a new stage of development, and this stage has presented us not only with new opportunities, but also with serious challenges.
The economic situation in the world, changes in the geopolitical situation and increased competition force us to quickly adapt to modern conditions and develop national thinking based on a deep analysis of the situation and a clear understanding of the importance of our country’s society.
Khayridin Usmonzoda in his scientific report on ‘New paradigms of understanding and strengthening state independence in the modern era’ attracted the attention of the present and noted that state independence is the strengthening of the modern world of the Tajik nation, which has created real opportunities for the realisation of the highest national and historical goals of our people and is considered an invaluable good. For us, independence is an outstanding sign of stability of the state, preservation of the image of the nation, a symbol of identity, historical ideals, an international passport, honour and prestige of joining the independent country of Tajikistan to the civilised world. The stable building of the state independence of Tajikistan has been constructed through constant efforts to lay golden bricks from the rich political and cultural traditions and strong will of the owner of the state of today’s generation. This is natural because the tendency of the spirit of independence has always manifested itself step by step in the formation of its national consciousness in various forms, so that finally in the new era it was able to regain its full political face and was given the authority to follow and implement the direction of policy without external interference, internal and external.
He emphasised that in the rapid course of socialisation processes on the initiative of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, we have witnessed for the first time the successful implementation in the practice of Tajik statehood of the use of the potential of the national state as an instrument of identity formation and a shield of national security, which today are important pillars of ensuring the political independence of the country. The inhabitants of this land see the State of Tajikistan as a guarantor of their rights and freedoms and a factor in the realisation of their vital interests. This is because they are surrounded by the values of the state structure of Tajikistan declared today in the idea of building a democratic, legal and secular state. Indeed, this is the fruit of the implementation of the policy that stems from the creative work and image of the head of our state, and in the person of the leader of the nation, his presence in the political arena has been able to create conditions for the embodiment of the ideals embedded in the minds and hearts of people into reality.
During the conference Sodiqi Nasiba Nurullozoda, doctor of philosophical sciences, professor, deputy of Majlisi Namoyandagon and Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, expressed her opinion on the issue of guaranteeing the freedom of citizens in the period of independence of the country, noting that from studying and analysing the situation of political life of Tajikistan of the last few decades, it is obvious that in the political life of the country there were events without the solution of which it was impossible to achieve a nation state. The primary task of the people and intellectual elite of the society was to solve the events that took place in the life of the society.
The processes of internal policy of the Republic of Tajikistan have proved that in the direction of ensuring sustainable development and strengthening the political stability of the country, the socio-political development of society occupies a priority position, and on this basis, the strengthening of the political system is one of the important issues of statehood in modern conditions, which directly affects the real life of the state and statehood.
First Deputy Chairman of the Union of Writers of Tajikistan, People’s Poet of Tajikistan Ato Mirkhoja, in his speech called literature in the period of independence a unifying and awakening means of national identity, the role of poetry and poet in raising the self-consciousness of citizens. He gave detailed information about the achievements of the literary people in the period of independence of the country, victories and losses at the present time.

It was emphasised that one of the important aspects of strengthening independence was national unity, supporting national identity and enhancing a sense of self-consciousness. At the same time, strengthening the functioning of State institutions and the legal system was necessary to preserve independence, ensure justice, protect the rights of citizens and combat the threats of modernity. Undoubtedly, protecting national security from threats and strengthening the country’s defence potential is possible only with the cooperation of the proud Tajik people.
