In order to further enlarge the scope of trade and economic cooperation, the Tajik side proposed the development and adoption of a Cooperation Program and a Sectoral Strategy for Joint Actions to Increase Trade Turnover for the Near Future. At the same time, the establishment of the Tajik-Mongolian Business Council was considered appropriate.
