Impressed by Iranian knowledge-based products

In May, a delegation of businessmen and producers from Tajikistan paid a visit to Iran’s House of Innovation and Technology (iHiT), expressing that they were highly impressed by Iranian knowledge-based products.

The delegation attended the Iran Expo 2024 exhibition, which kicked off in Tehran, IRNA reported.

The products are of high quality and are compatible with Tajikistan’s agricultural conditions.

More than 70 percent of the working population of Tajikistan works in the agricultural sector, but the worn-out tools and lack of modern planting and harvesting equipment have greatly hindered agricultural production in the country.

Tajikistan is a very promising market for Iranian agricultural tools and machinery.

The delegation looks to expand cooperation between Iran and Tajikistan to get more familiar with Iran’s achievements and introduce Iran-made products and industrial capabilities.

Boosting links in knowledge-based sector

On January 9, the former Vice President for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-based Economy, Rouhollah Dehqani-Firouzabadi, said a range of good opportunities are available for fostering science and technology-based cooperation between Iran and Tajikistan, particularly founding joint consortia for knowledge-based products and services.

He made the remarks in a meeting with Rustam Emomali, the chairman of the Tajikistan National Assembly and mayor of Dushanbe.

The scientific and research centers of the two countries provide the grounds for the development of collaboration, IRNA quoted Dehqani-Firouzabadi as saying.

“We are ready to expand the cooperation in the form of a comprehensive program, relying on young, educated, and expert human resources,” he added.
