SEOUL, May 27 (AJP) - The Embassy of Tajikistan in Seoul hosted a football tournament in central Seoul last Friday to mark Tajikistan Youth Day and World Football Day, bringing together students, local residents, and embassy staff for the friendly competition.

Tajikistan's Ambassador to Seoul Salohiddin Kirom congratulated participants and highlighted Tajikistan's strong focus on youth programs. He stressed the leadership of President Emomali Rahmon in helping young people gain "knowledge and skills."

Kirom also praised a recent proposal by Rustam Emomali, Chairman of the National Assembly, Mayor of Dushanbe, and President of the Football Federation of Tajikistan, to establish "World Football Day." The proposal was adopted by the United Nations earlier this year, reflecting Tajikistan's growing role in global sports diplomacy.
