DUSHANBE, February 21, Asia-Plus -- President Rahmon today met in Moscow with representatives of more than 250 Tajik public associations active in Russia, presidential press service said.
Speaking at the meeting, Rahmon noted that establishment of a Union of Tajiks was an important step towards consolidation of all fellow-countrymen living in Russia. Moreover, this consolidation is of great importance for protecting rights of labor migrants and providing them timely assistance, the president said.

Noting that labor migrants are a critical component in the economies of many countries, the president noted that according figures provided by the World Bank (WB) labor migrants remitted $150 billion to their countries in 2004 and more than $300 billion in 2006.
