During the ceremony, Bien Deji expressed optimism about the potential for discovering substantial reserves in the region, highlighting the importance of the Bukhara project for the energy sector in Tajikistan. The project aims to explore and develop new oil and gas fields in the area, which could have a significant impact on the country's energy independence and economic development.
