Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to build two hydroelectric power stations
Uzbek Ministry of Energy revealed the cost of two hydropower plants to be built in Tajikistan.
Uzbekistan and Tajikistan continue to discuss the draft Intergovernmental Agreement on the procedure and conditions for shared participation in the construction and operation of hydropower plants in the Zarafshan River basin, the Ministry of Energy said.
