DUSHANBE, 04.02.2021 (NIAT Khovar) – Tajikistan intends to strengthen trade cooperation with India. This was announced yesterday by the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) Jamshed Jumakhonzoda at a press conference.

«Another big market close to us is India. We are currently studying the issue of trade cooperation with this country,» he said.

According to Jumakhonzoda, the CCI has already taken the first steps towards opening a new export market and its chairman has met with business representatives of the Indian Embassy in Tajikistan and the Ambassador himself.

“We met with representatives of the country to discuss what products we can export to India. We just need to look at the transit routes and determine which of our products will be in demand there,” the CCI chairman said.

First of all, Tajikistan is considering land routes for supplies. The main goods that the republic plans to export are agricultural products.

Jumakhonzoda expressed hope that cooperation with India will be established from 2021.

In August 2019, Tajikistan and India called for the intensification of the activities of the Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation.
