Over the past 12 years, TALCO and Glencore International AG have carried out trade operations worth more than $ 4.7 billion. Over the next five years, following the reached agreements these two companies are expected to work with $1.5 billion under business cooperation.
Taking into account the existing capabilities of Tajikistan and the potential of Glencore, establishing cooperation in other areas of the national economy will be beneficial for both sides.
