History

On February 1, 1944, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR adopted a law granting the union republics powers in the field of foreign relations, which provided for the right of each union republic to enter into direct relations with foreign states. On May 12, 1944, the VII session of the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR adopted the Law "On the formation of the Union-Republican People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the Tajik SSR." By July, Ali Akhmedov was appointed People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Tajik SSR, who worked in this post until 1946. On March 15, 1946, the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the USSR was transformed into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR. On March 27 of the same year, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR, the people's commissariats of the republic were transformed into the corresponding ministries and, accordingly, the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the Tajik SSR into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tajik SSR. On January 10, 1992, at the session of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Tajikistan, a new structure of the Government of the Republic was approved. Instead of the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of External Relations was created, which was also given the functions of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations. On July 20, 1992, President Rahmon Nabiyev issued a decree “On improving the structure of the bodies for managing foreign relations of the Republic of Tajikistan”, and on August 27, of that year, pursuant to the decree, the Cabinet of Ministers of adopted a resolution on the issues of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, approving the structure of the central office of the ministry.
