Tajik, Belarusian, Afghan entrepreneurs sign contracts for a total of more than US$11 million

More than 200 representatives of business communities and officials of Tajikistan, Belarus and Afghanistan participated in the forum.  

The signed documents provide for collaboration between the countries in the fields of industry, education, and food supplies. 

In the frameworks of the signed contracts, the share of Tajikistan’s exports reportedly accounts for 46% of the overall volume.
