DUSHANBE , April 24, Asia-Plus - A series of training seminars are supposed to have been for Tajik entrepreneurs this year on the issues of Tajikistan ’s admission to the World Trade Organization (WTO), according to information from Tajikistan ’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI).   

The CCI source says experts from the Swiss Center “Ideas” will conduct these seminars.  An agreement on this subject has been reached in Dushanbe during a meeting  Odil Sangov, deputy head of Tajik CCI, with Ms. Lilia Olafsdottir (phonetically spelled), representatives from the “Ideas” Center.  

In the course of the talks Mr. Sangov noted that the Tajik side was interested in conduct of such workshops because after Tajikistan ’s joining the WTO various issues related to export/import operations, exhibition-fair activity and certification of commodities could rise.  

80 percent of members of Tajikistan ’s CCI are private organizations.  This year, it is planned to arrange 12 training seminars for them.  The workshops will be held not only Dushanbe but also in the provinces, according to the source.
