  • India-Tajikistan Bilateral Relations
    India-Tajikistan Bilateral Relations Relations between India and Tajikistan have traditionally been close and cordial. There has been a regular exchange of high level visits and important agreements, which helped in cementing the relations. During the visit of Tajik President to India in September 2012, the two countries declared their relationship to ‘Strategic Partnership’ encompassing cooperation in a wide spectrum of areas including political, economic, education, health, human resource development, defence, counter-terrorism, science and technology, culture and tourism. The Tajik side points out that the Tajik version of such declaration reads “strategic cooperation” and not partnership. During the preparation to the State visit of President Shri Ram Nath Kovind the Tajik side proposed that we could negotiate a strategic partnership agreement to sign. 2.

Page 28 Concept Introduction: Air passes have been used for over three decades by the airline and travel industries to facilitate travel within regions by offering a block of several one-way flights at a discount compared to buying the same flights separately. They are typically sold to tourists from outside the region planning a multi-stop itinerary. By selling a package of flights, often on several airlines, air passes can make travel within a region easier and more affordable, enabling tourists to visit more countries. While their overall track record is mixed, air passes have succeeded in the past at stimulating tourism in several regions, particularly regions that were suffering from high one-way air fares. In recent years one-way air fares have declined significantly in most regions, limiting the appeal of air passes.

Approximately half of Tajikistan’s two million working-age males labor at least part of the year in Russia and other CIS countries, often for less than the local minimum wage and under difficult working conditions. Tajikistan’s economy is still facing major economic issues left from the 1992-1997 Civil War, despite GDP growth of 7.4% in 2013. Tajikistan may face more economic problems if sanctions imposed against Russia cause its economy to contract. Experts forecast 6.2% real GDP growth and 5.4% inflation in 2014.
