Moscow, October 11 (Xinhua) – Russia and Tajikistan are closely cooperating in the economy, and there is potential for new projects. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a press conference in Dushanbe on Friday following his visit to Tajikistan.
"We have extensive and serious economic activity. It's enough to mention our cooperation in energy, including hydropower. Tajikistan is one of the most powerful clusters of this type of activity, thanks to its mountain rivers," the Kremlin website quotes the Russian leader as saying.
As Vladimir Putin noted, both countries have many well-known, implemented projects, as well as those that have yet to be implemented or that could be developed further.
"As we see, joint ventures are opening, and investments in Russian businesses are continuing. I'm also referring to Tajikistan's competitive advantages, such as cotton cultivation, and so on—this is important for us," the Russian leader said.
He also noted joint mineral extraction with Tajikistan. He stated that this and other forms of economic cooperation are of great mutual interest to both countries.
On the evening of October 8, Vladimir Putin arrived in Tajikistan on a state visit. –0–
