Today, on November 24, 2025, a solemn event and a peaceful march on the occasion of the National Flag Day of the Republic of Tajikistan took place in the capital of the Republic of Tajikistan, Dushanbe. This day, celebrated since 2009 by Decree of President Emomali Rahmon as an official holiday, symbolizes the steadfastness of statehood, national unity and identity of the Tajik people.
The national flag, as one of the main pillars of statehood, along with the Constitution, the National Emblem and the national anthem, is evidence of the existence of a united nation and state.
The event was attended by more than 20,000 people, including representatives of the executive government of the capital and its districts, ministries and departments of the republic, enterprises, educational institutions, healthcare, culture, party activists, athletes, leaders, teachers and students of universities and academies.
The peaceful march began at the Navruz waterfall in the capital’s park in order to emphasize national values and preserve historical and cultural heritage. It was actively attended by residents of the capital, young people of various professions, including workers in education, healthcare, culture and sports. The event was accompanied by a solemn summit, at which speeches were made about the achievements and successes of the country. The speakers emphasized that the national flag, as a “diorama”, occupies a special place in ancient literature, serving for thousands of years as a symbol of the unity and steadfastness of the nation.
Thanks to the state independence and the efforts of the nation’s leader Emomali Rahmon, the Tajiks received a national flag reflecting a worthy past and a bright future. In 2011, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of independence, the world’s tallest (165-meter) flag was raised in Dushanbe, which was listed in the Guinness Book of Records and recognized as a symbol of national pride.
In particular, the leadership and staff of the State Service on Control and Regulation in the field of Transport took an active part in the march. The Service, which is chaired by its chief, Kurbonzoda D.K., attended the event as a representative of a vital area and contributed along with other ministries and departments of the republic. Their participation is a sign of the unity of all spheres of society in the celebration of this national holiday. Representatives of customs authorities and other government agencies also took part in the march, all of which strive to ensure the stability and progress of the country.
