Iranian Ambassador to Dushanbe Ali Asghar Sherdoust says Iran plans to set up a cement plant worth more than 500 million dollars in Tajikistan.
The factory with an annual production capacity of more than one million ton will be constructed in Nosir Khusrav district in Tajikistan’s Khatlon province, the Iranian envoy told reporters on Tuesday, Tajikistan’s Asia-Plus website reported.
Sherdoust also pointed out that the Iranian Lian Kavan Kaniha Company will develop the plant during one and a half years period.
“The agreement on building this plant was signed in late January 2011” after two years of negotiations, he further explained.
A seven-member Iranian delegation, comprising legal experts, investors and experts from the Lian Kavan Kaniha Company visited Tajikistan in early January to find out the country’s cement production potentials.
