United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

the people and Government of Tajikistan on the tenth anniversary of the signing
of the General Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and National Accord.

“The signing of
the Peace Agreement was eloquent testimony to the wisdom and patriotism of
the Tajik people and leadership,” he said in a statement. “The 10 years
that have passed since this auspicious event have reinforced the
understanding that there is no viable alternative to the road of peace and
national reconciliation.”
Mr. Ban cited the
UN’s instrumental role in aiding the restoration of peace and stability in
the Central Asian country.
“And today,”
he observed, “Tajikistan stands as an excellent illustration of a UN
success story, achieved jointly with the Tajik people and the guarantor
countries.”

the past decade, the people of Tajikistan have endeavoured to rebuild their
country, he said, expressing the UN’s continued commitment to assisting the
Government.
“On
this joyous anniversary, I wish the Government and the people of Tajikistan

and prosperity,” he said.
