The article examines the international initiative of Tajikistan as an important stage in the development of the country's foreign policy. Based on the trend in the formation and development of Tajikistan’s foreign policy during the period of independence and the country’s achievements over the past decades, the period of stable development is assessed as a stage of Tajikistan’s international initiative. Based on the consideration of the stages of formation and development of Tajikistan’s foreign policy, its dynamic features are identified. The views of domestic researchers on the international initiatives of Tajikistan are analyzed. It is noted that during the period of stable development of Tajikistan, its international initiative became an important object of analysis for researchers. In works devoted to the period under study in the development of Tajikistan’s foreign policy, its international initiatives are adequately assessed, which are recognized as a valuable achievement of Tajik diplomacy. The opinion is presented that international initiative as an important stage of foreign policy has turned Tajikistan into an active subject of international relations.
