After Tajikistan gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, South Korea established diplomatic relations with the country on 27 April 1992. Initially, South Korea accredited its ambassador to Uzbekistan as also covering Tajikistan. In 2008, South Korea opened a branch of its embassy in Dushanbe and appointed a chargé d’affaires, and in November 2021, the mission was upgraded to a full embassy.[1] Tajikistan opened its embassy in Seoul in 2015 and appointed a resident ambassador. President Emomali Rahmon of Tajikistan visited South Korea twice, in 2005[2] and 2015.[3] South Korean prime minister Lee Nak-yon made his first state visit to Tajikistan in 2019. The Korea–Central Asia Cooperation Forum has further strengthened bilateral relations between South Korea and Tajikistan.
