The visit wasn't just about formalities; it marked a leap forward as China and Tajikistan elevated their relationship to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership in the new era. This means more cooperation, more friendship, and more exciting opportunities on the horizon! 
Also present at the send-off were Chairman of the National Assembly of Tajikistan and Mayor of Dushanbe, Rustam Emomali, and Tajik Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin. Their presence underscored the importance of this visit for both countries.
In a touching gesture, President Rahmon presented President Xi with a precious photo album capturing moments from Xi's three visits to Tajikistan since 2014. Talk about a friendship scrapbook!
