The gathering momentum now evident in the continual teaching successes, notably in lands recently opened to the Faith, impels us to announce that conditions make it ripe for the formation next Ridván of seven new National and Regional Spiritual Assemblies.
There will be established in Asia:
- the National Spiritual Assemblies of Cambodia, with its seat in Phnom Penh;
- Kazakhstan, with its seat in Alma-Ata;
- Kyrgyzstan, with its seat in Bishkek;
- Mongolia, with its seat in Ulaan Baatar;
- Tajikistan, with its seat in Dushanbe;
- Uzbekistan, with its seat in Tashkent;
- the Regional Spiritual Assembly of Central Asia will become the National Spiritual Assembly of Turkmenistan, with its seat in ‘Ishqábád.
and in Europe:
- the Regional Spiritual Assembly of Slovenia and Croatia, with its seat in Ljubljana.
