"We need to increase the pace and increase the volume of exports. We also propose to arrange the supply of flour. We are ready to create all conditions for cooperation," Aidarbek Saparov stressed.
Representatives of the Tajik side were interested in increasing the supply of sugar, vegetable oil, and meat.
In turn, the Minister stressed his readiness to provide comprehensive assistance.
At the end of the meeting, Aidarbek Saparov stressed that the implementation of the announced initiatives opens up prospects for expanding trade and economic cooperation and will contribute to improving the food sustainability of the Central Asian region.
