Monitoring Desk: The visit of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to Dushanbe will help to boost Tajik economy, reports Russian media.
Geographically linked and historically apart, China-Tajikistan are getting closer day by day as Beijing considers Tajikistan as gate to Central Asia.
With a bilateral trade value as higher as 780 million US dollars in first 8 months of year 2018, Beijing is busy in major infrastructure projects, including building factories, revamping road network and installing power stations in landlocked Central Asia. Tajikistan, which has lowest GDP growth rate in among Central Asian countries really needs economic boosters because it has resilient and skillful youth which can make wonders if provided opportunities in future.
