DUSHANBE — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has used her first official visit to Tajikistan to reach out directly to the Tajik people and stress U.S. concerns over religious and other rights there.
Speaking to a gathering of intellectuals in Dushanbe before meeting with top officials, Clinton addressed some of the most heartfelt concerns of her audience as she spoke of the importance Washington places on human rights.
“We strongly support the right of Tajik citizens to receive a decent education, to own land, to enjoy a free and independent media, to participate equally in the political process and enjoy all the universal rights that should be available to any man or woman,” Clinton said.
–snip– “We are working with the Aga Khan Development Network to support new energy, to build an integrated energy grid along the Tajik-Afghan border,” Clinton said. “We want to spur growth, create jobs, invigorate the private sector and fully integrate Tajikistan into the South and Central Asian economy.”
