Baku / 08.08.18 / Turan: President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon will pay an official visit to Baku on August 10-11, Tajik government media reported.
According to Asia Plus, Rahmon will be received by Ilham Aliyev, and then negotiations will be held with the participation of delegations.
Rahmon will also be received by the Prime Minister and Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament.
Priority areas of economic cooperation between Tajikistan and Azerbaijan are non-ferrous metallurgy, agro-industrial complex, energy, light industry, transport and communications.
"In the next year, the growth in aluminum prices in world markets will be significant, and in this regard, Tajikistan plans to bring the production of this metal to 245.5 thousand tons in 2019 (in the first half of this year, the country produced only 46.7 thousand tons aluminum worth $ 99.5 million).
Therefore, one of the main topics of the forthcoming talks in Baku will be an increase in the volume of transit of Tajik aluminum through Azerbaijan and the supply of alumina from Azerbaijan to Tajikistan," a source in the Tajik government said.
According to him, the bulk of the trade turnover between Tajikistan and Azerbaijan is aluminum, which is transported via Azerbaijan's sea and railroad routes to Europe. Tajikistan buys alumina, coke and other raw materials in Azerbaijan.
According to statistical data for the past year, the total volume of mutual trade turnover between the two countries amounted to about $ 13 million.
The contractual and legal framework for cooperation is secured by more than 40 agreements in the trade-economic, banking, tax, cultural and investment spheres. -02D-
