Deputy Foreign Minister of Tajikistan Idibek Kalandar met with Yoshifumi Yoshikawa, Vice President of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), to review ongoing projects and explore new areas of collaboration, The Caspian Post reports via Tajik media.
The talks focused on enhancing the skills of civil servants, advancing investment initiatives to improve access to drinking water, and upgrading transport and road infrastructure.
