Furthermore, Dr. Al Jasser enumerated the significant investments in green infrastructure, education, and agriculture, showcasing the strength of this enduring partnership.

“I applaud the efforts of the Government of Tajikistan to diversify the economy and enhance the role of the private sector. This is evidenced by the increased private sector’s contribution to the gross domestic product,” he elaborated.  

“With a strategic framework to enhance cooperation and a focus on leveraging the nation’s young talent, natural resources, and visionary leadership, we are dedicated to supporting Tajikistan’s crucial role in Central Asia,” Dr. Al Jasser reiterated.
