Representatives of Swiss Rieter Holding AG have arrived in Tajikistan to establish cooperation with domestic cotton-processing enterprises, according to the Ministry of Industry and New Technologies (MoINT).
On April 26, they met with Tajik Ministry of Industry and New Technologies Sherali Kabir.
A source at a MoINT says heads of cotton-ginning plants and textile enterprises have been invited to the meeting to discuss opportunities of establishing partnership with the Swiss company.
Representatives of the Swiss company have reportedly also got acquainted with operations of a number cotton-processing enterprises and textile companies of the country.
Representatives of Rieter Holding AG are considering the possibility of directly participating in Tajikistan’s textile market and supplying modern technologies of its own production to domestic cotton-processing enterprises, the source added.
