DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, December 20. Tajikistan
is interested in developing logistics and transport communications
and has invited Japan to take part in the construction of logistics
and agro-logistics hubs to support the development of transit
freight transportation in border regions in the north and south of
the country, Trend
reports via the press service of the Tajik president.
The proposal was voiced by President of Tajikistan Emomali
Rahmon while speaking at the Summit of the "Central Asia plus
Japan" Dialogue (CA+JAD) in Tokyo on December 20.
He noted that the country places particular emphasis on the
development of logistics and transport connectivity due to its
landlocked geography, stressing that improvements in road and
railway infrastructure, the expansion of air links, and the
introduction of digital logistics technologies would create
favorable conditions for the development of trade, investment, and
the regional economy.
Furthermore, Emomali Rahmon expressed gratitude to the Japanese
government for its support in implementing projects in key areas
such as the economy, infrastructure, transport, energy,
agriculture, environmental protection, healthcare, education, and
sanitation.
He also underscored the importance of small and medium-sized
projects implemented with Japan’s participation and expressed
interest in Japan’s involvement in large-scale national and
regional projects. Priority areas for cooperation were identified
as hydropower, mining, light and food industries, automotive
manufacturing, and metallurgy.
