BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 22. Tajikistan and
Azerbaijan consistently strengthen economic and investment
cooperation, creating new opportunities for the development of
trade, economic, industrial, and logistics ties, Deputy Minister of
Economic Development and Trade of Tajikistan Akhliddin Nuriddinzoda
said at the Azerbaijan-Tajikistan Business Forum in Baku, Trend reports.
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the
organizers of today's forum for the opportunity to discuss the
future of investment, trade, and economic cooperation between our
countries. I am confident that forums like these create important
conditions for open dialogue and the establishment of direct
contacts between investors and business communities in both
countries," he noted.
According to him, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan traditionally
maintain friendly relations based on mutual respect, and thanks to
the policies of the two countries' leaderships, bilateral ties are
consistently strengthening and gaining practical content.
Cooperation is actively developing in the trade, economic,
investment, industrial, logistics, and energy sectors.
"The economies of both countries have the potential to expand
industrial cooperation and implement joint projects," he announced.
He also noted the favorable conditions for developing trade and
economic cooperation within the framework of the existing free
trade agreement.
"The current level of economic cooperation does not yet reflect
the full potential of our countries. Today, we face the challenge
of moving from preferential trade relations to deeper industrial
and investment interaction," he emphasized.
The deputy minister also pointed out that, despite global
economic instability, Tajikistan is demonstrating sustainable
economic growth and macroeconomic stability, positioning itself as
a reliable and promising destination for international business. He
also spoke of the country's open economic policy and the creation
of a transparent investment environment.
Additionally, he recalled that a new law on investments and
investment promotion was adopted in May 2025, aimed at
strengthening guarantees for investors and introducing state
support mechanisms, including a stable investment regime and a
system of business incentives.
The ongoing Azerbaijan-Tajikistan Business Forum in Baku brings
together senior ministerial delegations and prominent private
sector business circles from both countries. The specialized
platform directs sharp analytical focus toward advancing
trade-economic cooperation, mapping out strategic investment
corridors, driving industrial integration, and cementing real-time
networks between Azerbaijani and Tajik entrepreneurs.
