Heads of ministries and agencies of Tajikistan as well as heads of provinces and cities will begin giving news conferences on the results of the past half year’s work on July 11, 2022.
The state-run news agency Khovar says the plan of organization and holding of the news conference was endorsed by President’s Executive Office on June 28.
Recall, President Emomali Rahmon in March 2005 signed a decree obligating ministers, department heads, and local officials to give quarterly news conferences.
But by president’s decree issued in September 2011, ministers, department heads, and local authorities now give news conferences twice a year – in January and July.
The decree also notes that in case of necessity, ministers and department heads may give news conferences several times a month.
