The Minister of Economic Development of Russia stated that more than 300 enterprises with the participation of Russian investors operate in Tajikistan.

According to the press service of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, Minister Maxim Reshetnikov visited Dushanbe on a working trip, where he met with the Prime Minister of Tajikistan, Kohir Rasulzoda.

It was reported that the parties discussed issues related to the development of trade, economic, and investment cooperation, as well as collaboration in the fields of education and migration policy.

Maxim Reshetnikov noted that Russia ranks second in investments in the economy of Tajikistan and is one of the leading trading partners of the country. According to him, more than 300 enterprises with Russian participation currently operate in Tajikistan. “Russian entrepreneurs are actively investing in construction, energy, communications, geological exploration, financial services, healthcare, trade, and tourism,” the minister reported.

During the meeting with the Prime Minister of Tajikistan, the Minister of Economic Development of Russia emphasized that “reliable and uninterrupted payments are needed to increase trade and investment.”

The Russian official highlighted the importance of “reliable and uninterrupted payments” at a time when the company “Barki Tojik,” the main energy company in Tajikistan, owes millions of dollars to the Sangtuda-1 and Sangtuda-2 hydropower plants, which are controlled by Russians, and has been unable to settle its debts to these hydropower plants for many years.
