In July, Russia will organize a conference on the management of natural resources and the environment. Mr. Rasulzoda, I am delighted to invite him to this event.

First, I would like to sincerely thank you for inviting us, for this meeting and for their traditional hospital reception.

It is a priority of foreign policy for the Republic of Tayikistan to strengthen our mutual relationships in all areas and expand the stakes of interest shared with the Russian Federation. Thanks to the political will and the sincere friendship between the presidents of our two countries, their excellence Emomali Rakhmon and Vladimir Putin, now we can address the entire spectrum of problems and facilitation existing.

The Russian Federation was and remains the main foreign trade partner of Tayikistan. Commerce grows progressively from year to year. Last year, we almost reached the planned objective of $ 2 billion. Mutual trade grew almost 40 percent aging the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year.

There is no doubt that the implementation of the Intergovernmental Economic Development Program for the period until 2027 has a lot to do with this. The parties are writing an intergovernmental action plan for the period until 2030 to boost mutual trade.

We see good prospects for cooperation in the industry. In this sense, I would like to write positive changes to create a textile cluster together with the BTC group, with two open clothing factories in Dushanbe and Khujand. The problems of exemptions and concessions for the future are being studied.

A decision has been the tasks as part of the preliminary agreement with the Rosatom State Corporation to study the possibility of creating a nuclear medicine center in the Republic of Tayikistan. Our agencies and Rosatom have developed and approved a road map to create this center.

The parties have signed an agreement to establish a Tayika-Rusa industrial park in the facilities of the Tayikistan textile machinery plant in downtown Dushanbe.

Not long ago, I visited the construction site for an industrial park built with the participation of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Russia and the Bashkortostan Development Corporation.

We appreciate humanitarian cooperation with Russia. Our presidents have recently opened the construction of the Mayakovsky Theater and a children’s center endowed in Dushanbe.

Russian schools work successfully in Tayikistan. More than 120 teachers work in Tayikistan within the framework of the Russian Teacher Project at the end. They are mostly sent to schools in remote regions of my country.
