By July, Ali Akhmedov was appointed People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Tajik SSR, who worked in this post until 1946. On March 15, 1946, the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the USSR was transformed into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR. On March 27 of the same year, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR, the people's commissariats of the republic were transformed into the corresponding ministries and, accordingly, the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the Tajik SSR into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tajik SSR. On January 10, 1992, at the session of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Tajikistan, a new structure of the Government of the Republic was approved.
