Iran’s economy minister stressed the importance of brotherly relations and close cooperation between the two countries, noting that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has always placed special emphasis on expanding relations with the neighboring Tajikistan in all fields.
Madanizadeh seized this opportunity to express his thanks to the principled and courageous stance of Tajik government in condemning attacks of the Zionist regime and the United States against Iran and considered it as a sign of a deep understanding of sensitive conditions in the region and necessity of supporting lasting stability and security.
Turning to the relations between Iran and Tajikistan, he pointed out that the relations between the two countries have registered a significant growth, especially in the recent year.

The two countries have high potentials to enhance their ties in all fields, he said, adding that competent Iranian companies have shown their vehement interest to participate in implementing power plant, road construction, housing and urban development projects in Tajikistan.
Iran is ready to set up joint science and technology park, develop knowledge-based firms and digitization of economy in the Republic of Tajikistan, Madanizadeh added.
