Tajikistan and the USA discussed the situation with fuel supplies

The Minister of Energy and Water Resources of Tajikistan, Daler Jumma, discussed the issue of ensuring the domestic market with petroleum products on October 8 with the Chargé d’Affaires of the United States in Tajikistan, Carson Relitz Rocker.

According to the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of Tajikistan, the meeting took place on October 8 in Dushanbe. During the meeting, the parties discussed the current state and prospects of cooperation between Tajikistan and the United States in the fields of energy and water resources, as well as exchanged views on the possibilities of expanding mutually beneficial interaction.

However, the official statement from the ministry does not specify the details of the ways and methods for ensuring the Tajik market with petroleum products, nor does it provide information on possible sources of imports or the volumes of fuel supplies to the country.

It is important to note that in recent years, Tajikistan has received the majority of its petroleum products from Russia. However, due to the war between Russia and Ukraine and Ukrainian attacks on infrastructure, oil processing plants and storage facilities in Russia have recently faced production and supply issues.

Additionally, against the backdrop of the military conflict in the Middle East, including American strikes on Iranian territory, oil prices have sharply increased on the global market, affecting the fuel supply situation in countries dependent on imported petroleum products.

Tajikistan, like other countries dependent on imported petroleum products, has felt this impact and is trying to find alternative sources of petroleum product supplies to ensure its domestic market.
