Gazprom Acquires New Licences in Tajikistan

 Russia’s Gazprom intensifies its operation in Tajikistan, obtaining an extension of its licenses in the Western Shaambary and Sarykamysh areas for a five-year period.

‘Besides, the parties agreed that Gazprom would soon receive licenses for new prospects in Tajikistan,’ reads a note of the company, referring to the Gazprom’s delegation and the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan. 

Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, met Emomali Rachmon, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, to discuss the two-way interaction in the energy sector.

 ‘Alexey Miller and Emomali Rachmon expressed confidence that the cooperation between Gazprom and Tajikistan in the energy sector had a great potential and was particularly important for enhancing the economic ties between the two countries,’ reads the note.

 The cooperation between Gazprom and the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan hinges on the long-term Agreement on Stategic Cooperation which, signed in 2003, will expire in 2028.
