The award was presented to Tajikistan’s ambassador to Malaysia, H.E. Mr Ardasher S. Qodir by YAM Tunku Mariam Zaharah Almarhum Sultan Iskandar in appreciation for the country’s natural beauty. Tajikistan boasts of the Pamir Mountains, which are part of the Himalayas and the tallest mountain range in the world. The region offers a unique blend of culture and natural wonders, attracting tourists from around the world.

For those who desire a dose of adventure in their travels, Tajikistan is a country well worth keeping in view. Hikers will find themselves making their way through majestic mountain passes and around the lip of picturesque lakes. Deserts and icy tundras are yet more of the diverse topographical features that the largely unexplored Central Asian country has to offer.

During the Corporate Ball, six other countries were given recognitions based on the results of recent Top 10 surveys for the categories of: Laos – Asia’s Top Best-Value-For-Money Tourism Country, Thailand – Asia’s Most Tourism Friendly Country, Cambodia – Asia’s Top Tourist Destination Country, Philippines – Asia’s Best Country for Women’s Equality, Maldives – Asia’s Best Country for Resorts and Nepal – Asia’s Best Country for Extreme Sports.
