  • Tajik media group Asia-Plus launched a Persian-language service to mark the 35th anniversary of Tajikistan’s independence.
  • The service will translate and republish coverage while presenting Tajikistan’s economic, social, cultural and historical life to Persian-speaking audiences worldwide.
  • Asia-Plus said it aims to expand the small initial department into a full service and build cooperation with Persian-language media.

Asia-Plus has launched a Persian-language service as Tajikistan approaches the 35th anniversary of its state independence. The initiative follows a presidential directive supporting the study of ancestral writing, national consciousness, national values and public interest in the country’s historical and cultural heritage.

The new service will cover the most important events in Tajikistan, Central Asia and the wider world for Persian-speaking readers. It also plans to present the country’s economic, social, scientific, literary, cultural and creative life, along with investment opportunities, tourism potential and historical and civilizational sites.

This decision was made with an understanding of how important it is to create a bridge between Tajikistan and the Persian-speaking world.

· Umed BobokhonovThe Asia-Plus founder and general director explained the purpose of the new service.

Umed Bobokhonov, founder and general director of the Asia-Plus media group, said the project would create a bridge between Tajikistan and the Persian-speaking world. The service will also highlight Tajik literature, art, music, historical and cultural figures, holidays, ceremonies, traditions and customs.

At the first stage, this is a small department that will mainly engage in translating and republishing materials from other languages of the publication into Persian script.

· Bahmanyor NadirovThe editorial director described the service’s initial format and its planned expansion.

Bahmanyor Nadirov, Asia-Plus’s editorial director, said the initial department would mainly translate and republish material from other languages used by the publication. The group intends to expand it into a full-fledged service with more staff and establish a place in the Persian-language media space.

Asia-Plus also expects the service to support cooperation with Persian-language media and colleagues through experience-sharing, training courses, joint projects and other initiatives. The media group, a private Tajik company operating since 1996, said it wants the Persian-language platform to become a reliable source of information about Tajikistan and Central Asia for mass audiences and media outlets.

We hope that the launch of the Persian-language service will create a new foundation for cooperation with Persian-language media and colleagues.

· Jasur AbdulloevThe head of Asia-Plus’s Tajik service discussed future cooperation.
