In 1998, newly independent Tajikistan joined discussions to establish CAREC. It embraced the vision of cooperation with its neighbors to usher in an era of development and shared prosperity.<\/p>\n
Tajikistan is a country bounded by the People\u2019s Republic of China to the east, Afghanistan to the south, Uzbekistan to the west, and the Kyrgyz Republic to the north. Its towering mountains, the highest in Central Asia, dominate more than 90% of the country\u2019s terrain. They cradle massive glaciers that feed rivers, nourishing fertile valley orchards and lowland farms and providing a source of abundant potential hydroelectricity.<\/p>\n
Of the six CAREC corridors, four (2, 3, 5, and 6) transit Tajikistan, transforming the way people and businesses move within the country and across borders. The corridors streamline transport, cutting costs and time, thereby boosting trade and opening access to essential jobs and services.<\/p>\n
