Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Tajikistan has no time to leave its neighbors without water. This was stated by the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon after talks with the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
“Shavkat Mirononovich and I noted the importance of further constructive cooperation in the use of water and energy resources,” the head of Tajikistan said.
“I have stated many times from the stands from various international organizations, including the UN, and again I want to say today that we did not leave and will not leave our neighbors without water,” Rahmon added.
“On the contrary, today we agreed and instructed the relevant ministries and institutions to begin studying the possibility of using the cleanest water resources of the high-mountain lake Sarez,” the head of Tajikistan underlined.
According to him, the fresh water volume of Sarez Lake is 17 cubic kilometers.
“In the future, we are confident that this project will make a great contribution to the water supply of the people of our region,” he said.
