Baku:Tajikistan is committed to the goals and principles of the Baku Process, as stated by Tajikistan’s Minister of Culture, Matlubakhon Sattoriyon.

According to Azeri-Press news agency, Minister Sattoriyon emphasized the importance of prioritizing common interests, ensuring equal participation of states, and aligning technological advancements with sustainable development goals.
