   It is impossible to imagine a national state without independence.Independence brings us the opportunity to defend the nation and the country in the near future, in the presence of our beloved country, pro-democratic, legal, secular and voluntary.  Our independence is the highest symbol of our homeland, which gives us the opportunity to build a state and own property, self-sacrificing efforts to achieve its independence, from a stable perspective, and to renew the structures of the cultural society.

   For us, independence is a prominent sign of the stability of the state, the survival of the nation, a symbol of originality and identity, a symbol of historical ideals and dreams, an international passport and honor and prestige in the civilized world. The events of the beginning of the nineties made our people to think about the issue of ensuring national and state security, maintaining the peace of society, maintaining peace and stability, and strengthening independence and protecting its achievements. Thanks to Independence, we have achieved significant political, economic, social and cultural achievements, but in the complex and sensitive stage of today's world, we need unity and solidarity, national unity, political intelligence, self-awareness and high sense of patriotism. The founder of national peace and unity - the leader of the nation, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Honorable Emomali Rahmon, has repeatedly emphasized this point so that we do not lose political vigilance.

   In the current conditions of the modern world, strengthening independence, stabilizing the foundations of the state, and raising the level and quality of human life become vitally important not only for our people, but for all mankind. Because in recent decades, the rapid progress of science and technology and the growing process of globalization have introduced humanity into a completely new environment and led to the formation of a comprehensive system of political-economic, social-cultural, informational and spiritual relations.

   In such circumstances, it is necessary to deeply understand one's goals and objectives, to strengthen historical achievements and to protect the national interests of our dear Motherland in the international arena." For the realization of these goals, equal relations and mutually beneficial cooperation with the countries of the region and the developed countries of the world are of special importance. In this regard, it should be said that as a result of the "open door" policy, such relations and cooperation are strengthening and expanding day by day.It should be said that precisely thanks to independence, Tajikistan has established diplomatic relations with 183 countries of the world, and 192 countries have officially recognized the independence of the Republic of Tajikistan. Tajikistan is a member of regional organizations and most international organizations, defends national values and interests, presents its views on global issues, and puts forward specific conclusions on the solution of these issues.

   Our main goal is to build an independent, democratic, secular state based on law and create conditions for a decent life for citizens. In the process of implementing this goal in independent Tajikistan, democratic values were accepted as a part of the new state culture and they actively contributed to the strengthening of the achievements of independence, the formation of civil society and its institutions, as well as the provision of human and citizen rights and freedoms. The main goal of the democratic system in our society is, first of all, to ensure the rights and freedoms of citizens, to create conditions for work and a peaceful life, the rule of law, the maintenance of justice and the active participation of the people in the governance of the state, which is based on the traditions and customs of national statehood, moral and cultural values the nation and the achievements of human civilization rely on it. In the process of strengthening peace and stability and state building and new statehood, we have put benefiting from high historical and cultural values, promoting national identity and pride of patriotism, self-awareness and self-awareness, and guiding and mobilizing the people to the highway of construction and improvement of the ancestral land.

   Today, thanks to the blessing of independence, a nation called Tajik and a country called Tajikistan are known by all the people of the planet and it has a special status in the world arena. The result of independence is that today Tajikistan is recognized in the world as a peace-loving and peace-loving state. The peace experience of Tajiks has become a source of education for peace-loving people of the world, which is a source of pride for every Tajik nation. As the founder of national peace and unity - the leader of the nation, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon emphasized: "One of our most important achievements in the era of independence is state building and modern national statehood, which essentially has a legal, social and secular form".

   The suffering Tajik people adopted the Constitution of the country of their dreams in order to strengthen their independence, preserve the integrity of the borders and land, achieve peace, unity and unity, and choose the right path of development. If we say that since the adoption of the Constitution, that is, 1994, a new stage of development has come for the Republic of Tajikistan, it will not be wrong. Because in order to achieve total peace and national unity, first of all, the legal basis of the Government's activity was necessary, and this could only be provided by the fully improved and up-to-date Constitution.Tajikistan has been accepted as a member of prestigious international organizations, and from their platforms, constructive initiatives of the President of the country to solve global and regional problems, including the fight against terrorism and extremism, drugs, transnational organized crime, environmental issues and the like, are brought to the world.

   For us, independence is a prominent sign of the stability of the state, the survival of the nation, a symbol of originality and identity, a symbol of historical ideals and dreams, an international passport and honor and prestige in the civilized world. The events of the beginning of the nineties made our people to think about the issue of ensuring national and state security, maintaining the peace of society, maintaining peace and stability, and strengthening independence and protecting its achievements 2013" and the International Decade of Action "Water for Sustainable Development, 2018-2028". It should be said that initiatives in the field of water are primarily aimed at strengthening cooperation and regulating relations in this vital field, freeing the subject of water from the framework of its classical and outdated understanding and encouraging a new perspective on the use of water resources in the region, the purpose of using experience they follow the progress of each other and the world in solving controversial and conflicting issues, in particular, the management of water resources of transboundary rivers.

   Today, the Republic of Tajikistan is recognized in the world as an initiative country in solving global issues and influential in regulating political processes in the region. Tajikistan has taken steady steps on the world stage, strengthened its position by promoting a logical policy and constructive proposals, and in the future, it will continue to make plans in the world with more steady steps. Thus, the aim and goal of every individual in society should be to strengthen national unity, respect national values, the issue of community development, achieving strategic goals, raising the standard of living, healthy lifestyle, and educating the younger generation in the spirit of humanity.
