On Thursday, April 23, 2026, a special lecture by H.E. SALIM Farhod, Ambassador of Tajikistan to Japan, was held in collaboration between our university and the Embassy of Tajikistan in Japan. The lecture took place as part of a course taught by Associate Professor Shizuo Shimada, and was attended not only by students enrolled in the course but also by students primarily from the first and second years of the Persian Studies program.

Titled “The Cyrus Cylinder: The Historical Connection Between the Past and Present – Tajikistan’s Modern Vision,” the lecture introduced the role of the Tajik people in human history and civilization, as well as the achievements of modern Tajikistan. It also provided an explanation of the international initiatives led by Tajikistan’s President Emomali Rahmon.

A question-and-answer session followed the lecture, providing participating students with a valuable opportunity to learn about the historical background and the country’s vision for the future, thereby deepening their understanding of Tajikistan.
