deepening of cooperation in the commercial, economic, humanitarian, and
military-technical areas. Pratibha Patil also stated that she invited her
Tajik counterpart to visit India and received the positive answer.
Tajikistan's President Emomali Rakhmon is pleased with the level of
the talks, too. He noted that the trade turnover between the two friendly
states increased considerably in the recent years, exceeding 25 million
dollars for seven months of the current year. "There exist reserves, there
are potentials further to expand our cooperation," the Tajik leader said.

terrorism were discussed during the conversation and noted that India and
Tajikistan have the same stand on these problems.
