Emomali Rahmon emphasized that "China remains a friendly country, a good neighbor, and a reliable strategic partner for us."

As noted, in 2025, trade between the two countries increased by almost 46 percent compared to 2024, and Chinese investment in the Tajik economy from 2007 to 2024 reached almost USD 6 billion, the majority of which was direct investment.

A fruitful exchange of views took place on the continued implementation of major projects in Tajikistan's real economic sectors, such as energy, road construction, industry, and agriculture, as well as ways to increase Tajik agricultural and agro-industrial exports to the Chinese market, the creation of an innovative scientific and technical agropark between the two countries in Tajikistan, and other issues of mutual interest.
