Tajikistan's President Emomali Rahmon has initiated a broad reshuffling of leadership positions within several key government bodies, state committees, research institutions, and universities. The personnel changes, formalized through presidential decrees signed on June 15, signal a significant administrative update across the country.

Azamat Azimi has been appointed to succeed Qurbonzoda at the Antimonopoly Service. Davlat Rahmon Davlatzoda now heads the State Control Service for the Use of State Property under the same committee, replacing Orzou Ahmadzoda.

The Tax Committee also saw substantial changes, with Abdusalom Rahimzoda promoted to First Deputy Chairman, replacing Ayubjon Solehzoda, who was appointed deputy chairman. Jurabeg Juma, previously head of the Tax Administration in Khatlon Region, also became a deputy chairman, bringing the total number of deputy chairpersons to six. Faridoun Kholnazarzoda was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Housing and Communal Services.

In the scientific and educational sectors, Musavvara Shukurzoda was named Director of the Institute of Botany, Physiology and Plant Genetics. Several leadership changes occurred at the International University of Tourism and Entrepreneurship of Tajikistan and other higher education institutions, including the Institute of World Economy and Diplomacy and the newly established Academy of Tourism. These appointments reflect a broader administrative restructuring aimed at filling key leadership roles across various sectors.
