It was noted that the promising areas of the Tajik-UAE economic cooperation are energy, mining, transport, communication technologies, trade, investment and agriculture.
The two sides pointed out that trade and economic cooperation between the two countries is currently unsatisfactory, and the activities of the Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic and Technical Cooperation between Tajikistan and the United Arab Emirates should be improved.
The interlocutors paid special attention to attracting UAE investments in the field of hydropower, mining, agriculture, health care and transportation of Tajikistan.
