Iran and Tajikistan have witnessed considerable growth in bilateral trade during the administration of President Ebrahim Raeisi and more than $۹۱ million worth of non-oil products was exported from Iran to Tajikistan over the past two years, Mojtaba Akbari said.
The two countries have managed to strengthen political and economic relations in various fields due to their cultural, historical and lingual commonalities, he emphasized.
Turning to the development of trade-economic relations between the two countries, Akbari noted that Iran and Tajikistan inked seven cooperation agreements in September ۲۰۲۱ during the first visit by Raeisi to Dushanbe.
Nineteen cooperation documents were signed between the two countries in November ۲۰۲۳ during the second visit by Raeisi to Tajikistan, he said, adding, “In addition, ۱۷ cooperation documents had been inked between the two countries after the visit of Tajik president to Iran in ۲۰۲۱.”
He pointed to the export of construction materials, food products, detergents, petrochemical products and agricultural equipment and machinery from Iran to Tajikistan and added that an exhibition will be held in the Tajik capital of Dushanbe on December ۲۶ with the participation of ۳۶ large Iranian companies.
In this exhibition, the Iranian companies will showcase their latest achievements and products, he continued.
Boosting the annual bilateral trade to €۵۰۰ million has been cited as one of the main objectives of an upcoming visit by Iranian Energy Minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian to Tajikistan, he maintained. / Mehr
