On August 29, 2022, at the joint initiative of the Embassy of the Republic of Tajikistan to the Federal Republic of Germany, representative of the interests of the German economy in Central Asia (AHK), as well as the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry an online webinar titled " Environmental Protection Technologies with a focus on hydropower and water supply" was held.
The Ambassador of Tajikistan to Germany, Imomudin Sattorov, as well as representatives of the relevant ministries and agencies of the country, took part in the event and made presentations on the wide opportunities for cooperation in the field of economy and investment. The event was also attended by representatives of the German Embassy in Dushanbe, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Andritz Hydro, Voith Hydro, Siemens Energy, the German Foreign Economic Relations Agency (Germany Trade & Invest) and other stakeholders.
Imomudin Sattorov stressed that Tajikistan stands for the expansion of relations with Germany in the field of economy and investment. Thus, strengthening cooperation in the field of hydropower, renewable energy sources, and the implementation of joint investment projects are considered promising areas.
One of the key areas of cooperation between Tajikistan and Germany is the joint implementation of the new German initiative "Green Central Asia", which contributes to the further development of the "green" economy, preventing the consequences of climate change and its negative impact on the environment in the region. In this regard, Tajikistan is interested in attracting foreign direct investment, modern and innovative technologies from Germany to process the untapped resources of its economy.
In his speech, the Tajik diplomat, given the country's rich potential, called on the participants, representatives of German agencies and influential companies to actively participate in the implementation of priority projects in Tajikistan.
The speakers expressed their commitment to further strengthen cooperation in mutually beneficial areas.
The webinar ended with a constructive exchange of views.
