As reported by the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, on August 22, 2022, a meeting took place between the Consul General of the Republic of Tajikistan in Almaty, Ravshan Bobokhonzoda, and activists of the Tajik diaspora and leaders of Tajik communities in Almaty.

“The Consul General informed the activists of the Tajik diaspora about the fourth strategic goal of the country and the Decree of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan declaring 2022-2026 as the ‘Years of Industrial Development’ and suggested contributing to the development of the country’s industry, promoting the establishment of joint ventures, and attracting capital to the Republic of Tajikistan,” the statement noted.

Tajik authorities are encouraging migrants and compatriots abroad to invest in the country’s economy, while administrative corruption, raiding of property and businesses by those close to the ruling family in Tajikistan has led domestic entrepreneurs and investors to flee the country, resulting in a mass outflow of capital.
