PR No. 68 Islamabad: June 19, 2018

President Mamnoon Hussain Tuesday visited the Somoni Monument here at Friendship Square and laid a wreath. One of Dushanbe’s most impressive modern monuments, this statue of Ismoil Somoni celebrates the 10th-century founder of the Samanid dynasty. With an art-deco quality to the design of the monument’s golden casing and a prominent position on Friendship Square, it has become a key rendezvous point in the city.
