At the initiative of Tajikistan, which holds the rotating chairmanship of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the first meeting of the energy ministers of the member states was held virtually.
Tajikistan's Minister of Energy and Water Resources Daler Jumaev said at the opening of the meeting that SCO member states had succeeded in developing energy interactions despite problems with the corona outbreak.
According to him, the space of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is a large platform for energy, within the framework of which a high amount of electricity is generated, consumed and transmitted. Therefore, this potential must be fully used to meet the growing needs of the member countries of the organization.
