Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau met with Tajikistan Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin on September 25 in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly and reiterated U.S. interest in increased partnership and investment in Tajikistan's critical minerals sector. The United States highlighted the importance of Tajikistan's continued support for the D-ISIS Coalition and expressed appreciation for Tajikistan's expertise at the forefront of the fight against ISIS-K.
