The proposal aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation and explore opportunities in key sectors. The Tajik ministry's press service confirmed the discussions held during the Innoprom-2023 exhibition in Yekaterinburg.
The Tajik minister highlighted his country's efforts to attract foreign investors, aiming to double industrial production within the next five years. Kabir emphasized that Russian participation in priority projects in mining, textiles and food industries, as well as the establishment of joint industrial zones, would greatly contribute to this goal.
During his visit to Yekaterinburg, Kabir also engaged with the management of the Russian Copper Company to discuss cooperation in non-ferrous metallurgy.
