He also expressed satisfaction with the enhancement of bilateral ties, especially in the cultural area.
Amirabdollahian then emphasized the need to deepen bilateral cooperation in different areas, adding that the economic ties between the two countries can reach high levels and a desirable point, given the existing potentials.
He then listed a number of grounds for the promotion of trade and economic ties with Tajikistan, including the export of engineering and technical services, investment of Iranian companies in establishing joint production companies in Tajikistan’s free trade zones, and cooperation between Iranian knowledge-based firms and Tajikistan in the transfer of technology, transit, and energy.
For his part, the top Tajik diplomat reportedly expressed satisfaction with the prospect of the development of ties between the two countries and said bilateral relations are at an excellent level.
He said mutual trips by officials of the two countries have bolstered the ties, expressing hope for a visit by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to Tajikistan this year.
