On April 28, 2022, a virtual meeting was held between the Chairman of the Committee on Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan Sheralizoda Bahodur Ahmadjon and the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Tajikistan to the UN, Jonibek Hikmat, to discuss issues on the creation of an International Fund for the Conservation of Glaciers in Tajikistan.
