THE REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE GLOBAL WORLD (SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT OF REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN EMOMALI RAHMON AT THE SUMMIT OF THE FUTURE) 23.09.2024
On September 22 and 23, on the eve of the High-Level Week, the Summit of the Future was held in UN. It was known that the "Pact of the Future" would be discussed within the framework of this summit. All participants gathered at the UN headquarters in New York to discuss current world problems and try to reach a consensus.
The speech by the Leader of the Nation Emomali Rahmon at the Summit of the Future was humanistic and aimed at the future of sustainable peace and human development. Today the world has become more complex and unsafe. Humanity has faced various types of problems (climate change, terrorism and extremism, human rights, health security, wars, various conflicts etc). These challenges and problems were the main ones in the speech of the Leader of Nation President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon at the Summit of the Future.
Today the world has become more riskier than ever. Nuclear threat, various wars and conflicts, degradation of humanity, climate change, terrorism and extremism (especially for Central Asia countries such problems are more acute) health, security, education, etc. These are the challenges and problems that worry the world community as well as Republic of Tajikistan. Tajikistan is the one vulnerable republic and buffer zone in regional politics. Tajikistan as part of the international community looking for ways and options to solve these problems in the world geopolitical situation and regional security.
Generally in politics, we seek our interests and strive for power, but we must not lose our humanity. The Nobel Prize for Peace (1952), Albert Schweitzer once said :"to dare to face the situation. . . . Man has become a superman. . . But the superman with the superhuman power has not risen to the level of superhuman reason. To the degree to which his power grows he becomes more and more a poor man. . . . It must shake up our conscience that we become all the more inhuman the more we grow into supermen".
As the president rightly noted :"for the sake of future generations and for the sustainable development of our world, we must work together". Today we must think more about how we think and how we act, our words and actions determine our future, whether it will be sustainable or more complex.
Water and Climate "For the future generation, we must create sustainable and lasting peace and development" says the leader of nation Emomali Rahmon.
One of the examples is "Water for Sustainable Development, 2018-2028" which aims to support sustainable development and integrated water resources management. The role of Tajikistan and especially the leader of the nation Emomali Rahmon in this direction is great.
The Leader of the Nation states that "Only through dialogue we can solve our problems." This is an important point, because in historical and political practice, all conflicts, wars and problems are ultimately resolved through diplomatic dialogue between the actors. As well as Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi rightly noted that "Success of humanity lies in our collective strength, not in the battlefield". Only together we can achieve world peace and sustainable development. Exceptionalism cannot work in the face of the emergence of new superpowers and new world problems.
The most important initiative of the leader of the Republic of Tajikistan in his speech at the Summit of the Future is a special Resolution by the United Nations entitled “Decade of Strengthening Peace for Future Generations.”
Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, war has been and remains the most important form of relations between commonality in world history. And statistics show that over the past 5 thousand years, about 14 thousand wars have occurred, in which about 5 billion people died. In this way, The leader of nation Emomali Rahmon concern about constant wars and conflicts between nations and thousands and thousands of human victims.
In his speech, the Leader of the Nation looks at the complex and acute situation that worries humanity today, and the Tajik people are proud of the Persian-Tajik poet Saadi Shirozi, whose poems became the official motto of the UN and are engraved in gold letters on the pediment of the UN headquarters building in New York:
Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain.
