"Azerbaijan has demonstrated how to successfully develop by
attracting domestic and international investment, as well as modern
technologies, while finding its place in regional and international
markets," he said.


He also added that Tajikistan is identifying promising sectors
for attracting investment, including from Azerbaijani
companies.







"We are interested in attracting investment, technology, and
expertise from the Azerbaijani side to implement joint projects in
Tajikistan," Khabibov noted.


According to him, Tajik companies are also interested in
expanding their international presence and cooperation with
Azerbaijan.


Khabibov mentioned examples of existing cooperation, including a
joint venture to produce fiberglass pipes in Tajikistan, as well as
the supply of dried fruits and confectionery products to
Azerbaijan.


He also emphasized that cooperation is also developing in
tourism and humanitarian ties, including a growth in tourist travel
from Tajikistan to Azerbaijan and through it to other
countries.
