An Iranian member of parliament has said that the volume of bilateral trade between Iran and Tajikistan has tripled over the past two years.
Jalil Rahimi Jahanabadi, the head of the Iran-Tajikistan Parliamentary Friendship Group, however, believes that the two countries are still far from the ideal in the field of developing economic relations.
Talking to Iran Daily, Jalil Rahimi Jahanabadi added that the volume of trade between the two countries will top $300 million by the end of the current Iranian year (March 19, 2024).
“During the first visit of President Ebrahim Raisi to Tajikistan, the presidents set an annual trade target of $500 million, which we hope will be realized within a period of one to two years,” the lawmaker said.
The Iranian and Tajik parliaments on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on expanding cooperation between the two legislative bodies.
