Kazakhstan is ready to ramp up
exports to Tajikistan across 85 commodity items, totaling $190 million, as
announced by Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov during his official visit to
Dushanbe, where he met Tajik President Emomali Rahmon and Prime Minister Kokhir
Rasulzoda. The parties discussed prospects for trade and economic cooperation
and expressed their intention to continue increasing bilateral trade, aiming to
reach $2 billion. Priority areas of partnership also include the industrial
sector, energy, agriculture, and transportation. The countries are considering
joint development of deposits in Tajikistan. Additionally, Kazakhstan may
supply railway equipment, including rails and beams, locomotives, diesel
locomotives, transformers, and batteries. Agriculture also presents
collaboration opportunities, particularly in flour milling and livestock
product processing. One of the new areas of cooperation is digitalization,
where Kazakhstan will provide support to Tajikistan in deploying its own
national eGOV systems.
