On 13 November, a meeting was held at Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Investments, Industry and Trade between Deputy Minister Khurram Teshabaev and Ruhshona Nasriddinzoda, Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Tajikistan.

The Tajik delegation also included Deputy Minister of Transport Shoista Saidmurodzoda, Deputy Minister of Industry and New Technologies Aziz Nazar, and representatives of relevant government agencies. The participation of officials from several sectors enabled the sides to consider trade, transport and industrial issues together.
A key topic was implementation of the programme aimed at raising bilateral trade turnover to $2 billion by 2030. Participants discussed removing trade barriers and developing the Jartepa cross-border trade zone. These areas were identified as practical means of expanding the exchange of goods between the two countries.
The sides also focused on joint industrial projects and the activities of the Tajik-Uzbek Investment Company. They discussed opportunities for cooperation in textiles, metallurgy and the production of construction materials. These sectors were highlighted as areas for further collaboration between enterprises in the two countries.
Following the talks, the sides signed a Protocol. The document formalizes the agreements reached, sets out specific measures and establishes deadlines for their implementation. It is intended to support coordinated work on the agreed areas and move the initiatives discussed at the meeting towards practical implementation.
As part of the visit, the Tajik delegation also familiarized itself with the production capacities of enterprises in Uzbekistan. The visits provided an opportunity to see the country’s industrial potential and the manufacturing capabilities of Uzbek companies firsthand.
The meeting covered both the broader goals for bilateral trade and specific areas of industrial cooperation. The signed Protocol records the next steps agreed by the two sides and provides a framework for continued work on the agreed priorities.
