DUSHANBE, May 22, Asia-Plus – Tajikistan’s state gas concern, Tojikgaz, is interested in participation at the 8th Eurasian Business Summit that will be held in Monte Carlo, Monaco, on June 3-9.
Ahmad Idiyev, the Tojikgaz energy expenditure reduction project manager, told Asia-Plus that Tajik natural-gas distributor had worked out two investment projects: the project for rehabilitation of gas main in southern Tajikistan, costing $20 million, and the project for modernization and enhancement of the Dushanbe natural-gas-supply, $10 million.
According to him, the Tojikgaz top managers intend to present these projects at the 8th Eurasian Business Summit that will be held in Monte Carlo, Monaco, on June 3-9. He added that the report “Investment Climate in Natural-Gas Sector in Tajikistan” is also expected to be delivered at the summit in Monaco.
