Tajikistan plans to start trade with China in yuan

This is due to the fact that trade between the countries is increasing, so businessmen are already ready to switch to settlements in yuan, the UN reported.

With the opening of land borders, trade between Tajikistan and China will expand, and settlements will be made in Chinese currency.
