DUSHANBE, October 20. /TASS/. Tajik President Emomali Rahmon received the heads of delegations who arrived for a meeting of the Council of Heads of Government of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states at his official residence, the Palace of the Nation in central Dushanbe. They included Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The SCO prime ministers posed for a group photo with the Tajik leader in the foyer of the Palace of the Nation.

The last multilateral meeting between Rahmon and heads of government, including Mishustin, took place in June last year during events held under the auspices of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The Tajik president also met separately with the Russian prime minister on the sidelines of the CIS Council of Heads of Government meeting at that time.
