Tajik-Iranian cooperation discussed in Dushanbe


Dushanbe 06.12.2009, Stan--- a conference on Tajik-Iranian cooperation in new conditions was held in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Political scientists from both countries aim to define the priorities of mutually beneficial cooperation. Tajikistan has dozens of joint enterprises with Iranian capital. Iranian investors work in small and middle scale business sectors, producing food products and household appliances. In 2008 the trade turnover between the two countries exceeded 500 million dollars. Scientists say that two countries have reached the top in their relations and they don’t know where to move further. Political scientists propose serious conceptions to create efficient cooperation.

In course of 18 years, two countries have signed around 200 agreements in political, cultural and economical sectors. According to the Iranian Ambassador to Tajikistan Aliasgar Sherdust, the majority of agreements do not work. Participants of the conference think that in order to increase the effectiveness of cooperation of the two countries, it is necessary to receive advice from scientists. The reports and offers of political scientists will be given to the Iranian Embassy in Dushanbe.
