00:05Tajikistan is one of the most exciting places of the world not only for tourism but as a business
00:10destination. In Dushanbe and towns and cities across Tajikistan 35 years of independence was
00:20celebrated nationwide with three days of parade ceremony and celebration marking the occasion.
00:25You can hear it before you can say it the sound of a parade 100,000 strong.
00:32This isn't a story about looking back though it's a nation with its eyes fixed
00:36firmly on what comes next an ambition starts at the top of government.
00:59In the last 25 years, after the cooperation of the war, and the decision-making of the
01:08war, the resolution of the early economic economy, has been achieved over 7 of the 7 percentage.
01:24from its leaders to its people the message stays the same an eagerness to be understood both at home
01:31and abroad. It is a surprise that our country in the past three and five years of history
01:37is not the case of the two and several other countries, the international and international organizations
01:47and the region of the country. This is the case of the government, the government, the government
02:27It's a mindset shared by those shaping Tajikistan's economy.
02:31From officials in Dushanbe to investors watching from abroad.
02:35If you ask me if you should invest today or tomorrow, I'd rather invest today in Tajikistan.
02:41The time is right. We're at a juncture in Tajikistan.
02:44We're changing from a modus operandi where we safeguard unity and peace
02:48into really embracing the opportunities of the future.
02:52Everybody is talking about Raghun.
02:543.6 gigawatts going forward from a hydropower plant, right?
02:58It's actually much more than that.
02:59We're refurbishing the Cascade.
03:02We're refurbishing Kairakum HPP up there in Khujand.
03:06It's potential the government's own figures back up to.
03:10Numbers have put real weight behind the ambition.
03:12Today, Tajikistan is in Tajikistan in the 8th place in the city of Tajikistan.
03:20This country has five people from today.
03:26It's about 95 people from Tajikistan.
03:30It's about 5 years old in Tajikistan in the 3rd place in the 3rd place in the city of Tajikistan
03:36in the 3rd place in the 3rd place in the world.
03:39It's about 5 people from the 3rd place in the world.
03:40It's about the American Institute of the Institute of the United States that they're talking about this time.
03:44It's about 10 years old.
03:58But ask the head of EBRD's Dushanbe office what he'd tell someone who's never heard of Tajikistan,
04:04and the answer isn't about economics at all.
04:07Those of you who don't know Tajikistan, come here, feel the friendship.
04:13That's not only a slogan, the Tajiks live it.
04:15It is a super hospitable country.
04:17A lot of culture and the beauty of the mountains and the landscapes here are just astonishing.
04:24It's a welcome as genuine as anything on show here.
04:27The celebrations have closed with a concert for the new National Stadium.
04:31Tens of thousands more turning out for one final night of festivities.
04:36This evening felt nice all day and showed itself without far more than spectacle.
04:41It's been about identity, about unity, about a nation choosing to tell its own story on its own terms.
04:49Building a strong legacy for the future.
