During the meeting Sharif Saidov stressed that tourism and relevant industries were one of priorities and main directions of Tajikistan’s economy and “tourism still remains underdeveloped in Tajikistan.” In the course of the talks it was also noted that opening of air line between Dushanbe and Tokyo would tackle many transport problems facing future tourists and representatives of business circles from Japan.
