DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, December 20. President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon emphasized Tajikistan’s commitment to a green economy and sustainable industrial development during the Central Asia plus Japan Summit in Tokyo, Trend reports via the press service of the Tajik president.
Rahmon expressed gratitude to Japan for its support in implementing projects in infrastructure, energy, transport, agriculture, and healthcare.

He added that Tajikistan is actively pursuing a transition to environmentally friendly technologies across key sectors, including hydropower, mining, light and food industries, automotive manufacturing, and metallurgy.
