Ukraine will open an embassy in Tajikistan, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kostiantyn Hryschenko has said.

"We are expanding our diplomatic presence in the post-Soviet countries. We are finally setting up our diplomatic mission in Tajikistan, which was the last country in the CIS in which we had not opened an embassy," the minister said while opening the 11th conference of the heads of Ukraine's diplomatic missions abroad in Kyiv on October 2.
