Russia and Tajikistan Establish New Technological Chains - Rosatom

Russia and Tajikistan are developing new technological chains in several areas, including energy and the mining of rare-earth metals, said Alexey Likhachev, CEO of the Russian state-run corporation Rosatom.

"When working with industrial plants of Tajikistan, we are building up new technological chains in a number of other areas, related to energy, instrument-making, and probably rare-earth metals mining. Tajikistan is rich in rare-earths metals," Likhachev said, The Caspian Post reports citing foreign media.

Tajikistan takes a responsible approach towards the environmental future, the Rosatom CEO said. "These are activities on decontamination, on transfer of sites either to the green condition or for industrial use. Certainly, this removes a very large burden from the population and settlements on the whole," he added.
