In March this year, during the state visit of Tajikistan’s President Emomali Rahmon to Uzbekistan, the parties declared their intention to increase the bilateral trade to $2 billion.

According to the Uzbek president’s press service, the governments of the two countries have been instructed to take practical measures to achieve this target based on a separate program.

The main supplies from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan consist of natural gas, petroleum products, electricity, fertilizers, metal products, construction materials, and household appliances.

In turn, Tajikistan’s exports to Uzbekistan primarily include zinc and copper ores and concentrates, electricity, coal, aluminum profiles, cotton fiber, and certain types of agricultural products.
