September 9 is the Independence Day in the Republic of Tajikistan

Tajikistan Independence Day is celebrated every year on September 9th.

On September 9th, 1991, an independent state named Tajikistan appeared on the political map of the world. On this historic date, Tajikistan officially declared its state independence and opened a new page in the life of the Tajik nation.

It is a national holiday and a non-working day in Tajikistan. On this day, many businesses are closed, and people participate in lighting fireworks and witnessing the famous ‘21-gun salute.’ Military parades, cultural performances, and mass games are usually held to celebrate Tajikistan Independence Day. A traditional way of celebrating the Day of State Independence of the Republic of Tajikistan is by having small feasts with family and friends.

During the period of independence, the achievement of energy independence, overcoming the communication impasse, ensuring food security and industrialization of the country were proclaimed strategic goals of the people and the State of Tajikistan, and thanks to the consistent implementation of these higher goals, the Republic of Tajikistan entered a new stage of development.
