He was received at the airport by Tajikistan Deputy Prime Minister Azeem Ibrihim. The visit is part of regular high-level exchanges between the two countries.
During his stay in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, the PM will hold meetings with Tajikistan President Emomalii Rahmon and Prime Minister Qohir Rasulzoda to discuss all aspects of bilateral relations, including political, trade, economic, energy, infrastructure, defense and security, and people-to-people contacts.
