The International Trade Center (ITC)’s Office in Tajikistan says a Tajik delegation in the early morning of August 12 arrived in the Uzbek capital Tashkent for an intense one- day study tour.
The group was reportedly composed of representatives from six government agencies, two business associations, and two border transport companies. The Tajik officials and business representatives met with their Uzbek counterparts. They visited the country’s customs terminals and other border trade agencies to familiarize themselves with local experience and initiate closer cooperation.
The tour reportedly aimed at learning experience of customs terminals and other border agencies in Uzbekistan as well as establishing contacts between Tajik and Uzbek sectoral agencies for further cooperation to improve the services of local terminals.
The initiative was jointly organized by the Tajikistan Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and the International Trade Center under the Swiss Government-funded Global Textiles and Clothing Programme (GTEX).

Uzbekistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Investments and Foreign Trade of Uzbekistan, State Customs Committee of Uzbekistan played an important role in ensuring this study tour was possible.
