Iran is ready to provide a path for energy transit for Tajikistan and create key infrastructure for economic activity in the region, Iranian Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian said at a meeting with Tajik Foreign Minister Sirodjidin Aslov, Trend reports referring to the website of the Ministry of Energy of Iran.

According to Ardakanian, Tajikistan has the potential of producing about 15 percent of all hydroelectric power in the world.
