DUSHANBE, March 26, 2012, Asia-Plus – A tripartite meeting of the presidents of Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Iran took place in Dushanbe Sunday (March 25) afternoon on the sidelines of the International Navrouz Day.

According to the Tajik president’s official website, economic cooperation between the three countries was a major topic of the meeting.

The meeting participants, in particular, discussed issues related to reconstruction of Afghanistan’s economy and transport-transit opportunities of this country.
