Tajik president invites APS students to Tajikistan

Islamabad: The President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, has invited a group of affected students of the Peshawar Army Public School to visit to Tajikistan for convalescence.
According to the directions of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, various ministries and agencies have chalked out a comprehensive programme for students of Peshawar Army Public School, said a press release issued by the Embassy of Tajikistan on Monday.
The programme includes cultural performances and trip to historical places in Tajikistan. The purpose of President Emomali Rahmon’s initiative is to share grief of these students and their families and help them recover from the traumatic situation they have been facing ever since that horrible incident took place.
Tajikistan, after China, is the second country, which has invited students to Tajikistan. Meanwhile, the social and political circles of Pakistan have greatly applauded the goodwill gesture of the Tajik president and hoped other countries would also come forward to share grief of the students.
Various Pakistani organisations too lauded the step and thanked the Tajik president for his initiative. The step, they hoped, would further cement brotherly ties between Pakistan and Tajikistan besides strengthening people to people relations.
