Dushanbe, November 12 (Xinhua) — The opening ceremony of the Center for Water Diplomacy of the Academy of Public Administration under the President of Tajikistan took place in Dushanbe. The press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan reported this on Wednesday.

The opening of the center coincides with the 25th anniversary of support for Tajik President Emomali Rahmon's first initiative in the area of water resources, namely, the proclamation of 2003 as the International Year of Freshwater. The corresponding decision was unanimously adopted at the 55th session of the UN General Assembly in 2000.

Tajikistan's Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Mukhriddin called the creation of the center an important and timely event.

It was also noted that Tajikistan intends to establish an international center on water issues in the near future with the support of the UN and international partners. The opening of the Center for Water Diplomacy will serve as the foundation for the implementation of this initiative.
