Bilateral trade: Tajikistan-Pakistan flights on the cards

ISLAMABAD: Tajikistan is considering starting direct flights between Pakistan and Tajikistan to further bilateral trade, the country’s ambassador to Pakistan Zubaydullo Zubaydov said on Sunday.

“A direct flight from Islamabad to Dushanbe takes less time than that from Islamabad to Karachi,” he told reporters. “Power sector is one of the main areas where Tajikistan can help by supplying cheaper electricity to Pakistan,” he said.
