In accordance with a decision adopted by the SCO Council of Heads of State, representative of Tajikistan, Jumakhon Ghiyosov, has appointed Director of the SCO RATS Executive Committee, a source in the Tajik government told Asia-Plus today morning.
Jumakhon Ghiyosov had previously served as Deputy Director of the SCO RATS Executive Committee since 2017.
