Dushanbe will host the Fifth Exclusive Exhibition of Iran in Tajikistan. A four-day event that will take place at the Kokhi Borbad State Complex will kick off on December 21. 

Iranian media reports say Mashhad Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture has organized the event and a number of Iranian companies will put on display their achievements in food industry, healthcare, medicine, agricultural machinery, building materials, exporting technical and engineering services, producing carpets and home appliances at the fair that will run through December 24. 

Deputy of Khorasan Razavi Governor for Economic Affairs said in early December that the province's economic activists are willing to attend the 5th Iranian Exhibition in Dushanbe.

Ali Rasulian made the remarks at a meeting with stakeholders in Mashhad on December 3, according to IRNA. 

Relations between Tajikistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran are warming up.

In mid-February, former Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said that Tehran is eager to further expand ties with Dushanbe as it considers its ties with Tajikistan as “familial.” 

In March, Tajikistan's Prime Minister Qokhir Rasoulzoda, at a meeting with Iran's outgoing Ambassador Hojatullah Faqani, said that Dushanbe is determined to increase economic and commercial relations with Tehran, calling for increase in volume of trade between the two countries.

“Welcome to your second homeland,” President Emomali Rahmon told his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani upon his arrival in Dushanbe for the fifth summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA), on June 15.
