Tajikistan requested increased funding from the European Union (EU) for key sectors of its economy, including economic and transport corridors, energy, the "green" economy, and digitization. This request was made by Tajikistan's Minister of Economic Development and Trade, Zavqi Zavqizoda, during discussions with Henrik Hololei, Advisor to the Directorate-General for International Partnership of the European Commission, according to the Ministry of Economy and Commerce of Kyrgyzstan.
During the meeting, they discussed expanding cooperation in various areas such as trade, industry, the green economy, digitization, energy, transportation and logistics, environmental protection, and climate change.
Zavqizoda emphasized that Tajikistan considers the EU a reliable and important partner for achieving the country's strategic goals and socio-economic development.
