The President of Tajikistan also congratulated President Ilham Aliyev on his election as the chair of the 17th ECO Summit.

Emomali Rahmon said that 98 percent of electricity in Tajikistan is obtained from clean energy sources – hydroelectric power plants: “Our region is sensitive to climate change, floods and inundations have caused great damage to the economies of countries. Therefore, special attention should be paid to eliminating the damages. At the same time, efforts should be united in the protection of glaciers, which are a source of water supply.
