BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 15. Tajikistan and Oman
discussed the expansion of a joint investment initiative during a

This is reflected in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Tajikistan.
According to the ministry, the potential areas of cooperation
were outlined during the meeting between the Ambassador of the
Republic of Tajikistan to the Sultanate of Oman, Zubaydullo
Zubaydzoda, and the Minister of Economy of Oman, Khamis bin Saif
bin Hamoud Al Jabri.
''During the meeting, the parties discussed the current state
and development of cooperation between Tajikistan and Oman in the
areas of economics, investment, and trade, and exchanged views on
expanding interagency ties and implementing joint projects,'' the
statement says.
During the talks, which took place on July 13, 2026, the sides
reviewed the current state and prospects of Tajik-Omani
cooperation, focusing on trade, investment, and economic
partnership. The parties exchanged views on strengthening
interagency ties and establishing structured coordination
mechanisms to facilitate direct dialogue between the economic
ministries of both nations.
Special attention was paid to identifying promising sectors for
joint investment and the implementation of development projects.
Both officials expressed mutual interest in diversifying bilateral
trade volumes, leveraging investment opportunities in key economic
sectors, and fostering closer cooperation between the business
communities of Tajikistan and Oman.
Meanwhile, Oman increases economic cooperation with other
countries of Central Asia as well. Earlier, Uzbekistan and Oman
outlined plans to boost food processing and trade projects.
The meeting, held on July 13, brought together Alisher Shaykhov,
Advisor to the Chairman of the Uzbek Chamber, and Saif bin Nasser
Al-Taiwani, Chairman of the Board of the Chamber of Commerce and
Industry of Oman's Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate. Discussions focused
on enhancing mutual trade turnover and initiating joint ventures in
key growth sectors, including petrochemicals, jewelry,
pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food processing, and hospitality
infrastructure.
Particular emphasis was placed on leveraging Uzbekistan's
agricultural capacity to develop high-value-added products, with
the Omani side expressing clear interest in exporting processed
Uzbek fruits and vegetables back to Oman and broader Middle Eastern
markets. To catalyze these commercial prospects, the chamber
organized a dedicated B2B matchmaking session pairing Omani
delegates with local enterprise leaders during the official
visit.
