Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) implements the development of technologies for effective management of water resources, including irrigation and soil erosion prevention. It should be said that within the framework of the climate change and ecology project, the Agency is conducting research on the impact of climate change on the glaciers and water systems of Central Asia, which are of key importance for the region.

At the same time, it was emphasized that this Agency supports academic exchange between Japanese and Tajik universities through scholarships and grants for Tajik researchers who want to study in Japan, as well as the training of young scientists in the fields of engineering, ecology, biotechnology and natural resource management.

In this regard, we intend to further strengthen cooperation with you for the transfer of innovative technologies. In this regard, we hope that the Japanese Science and Technology Agency (JST) will facilitate the transfer of Japanese technologies and their implementation in Tajikistan.

It is also necessary, that our specialists and scientists implement joint projects related to the adaptation of Japanese technology to local conditions, for example, in the field of seismology and hydropower.

Regarding seismology and disaster risk management, Tajikistan is located in a region of high seismic activity, which makes the projects of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) in the field of seismology important.

In this regard, we propose to establish cooperation through the Institute of Geology, Earthquake-Resistant Construction and Seismology of the National Academy of Sciences in the development of earthquake monitoring and early warning systems, as well as the training of Tajik specialists in the methods of risk assessment and prevention of the consequences of natural disasters.

In this context, the Agency of Science and Technology of Japan plays an important role in the development of science of the Republic of Tajikistan by providing access to research and advanced technologies.

Thanks to the cooperation with the Japanese Science and Technology Agency, the Republic of Tajikistan is strengthening its scientific capacity and solving the main problems of sustainable development and environmental security.

On December 2, the president of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, associate member of the Academy of Sciences, Khushvakhtzoda Kobiljon Khushvakht, on the sidelines of a business trip to Japan, met with representatives of the SATREPS program and the JDS project in order to establish scientific research cooperation.

It should be point, that the SATREPS program and the JDS project operate under the framework of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). The SATREPS program promotes collaborative international research aimed at solving global issues as an aspect of "science and technology diplomacy".

During the meeting, it was emphasized that today the attention of the international community is focused on the goals of sustainable development, which shows the increasing complexity of global issues such as climate change, food problems, natural disasters and infectious diseases. Developing countries, which are most vulnerable to their effects, are in a difficult situation.

Of course, in order to solve these issues, scientific and technological innovations, the application of research results in society, the development of human resources, and the increase of scientific and research capacity at the national border are necessary. It should be noted that the Human Resources Development Scholarship (JDS) Project is aimed at supporting the development of human resources in the recipient countries of Japan's grant aid.

Also, the JDS Project offers master's and doctoral courses in Japanese universities in English. Also, through the JDS project, they have a special opportunity to learn advanced knowledge directly in a technological environment and at the same time build wide human networks.

In the continuation of the meeting, the president of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, associate member of the Academy of Sciences, Khushvakhtzoda Kobiljon Khushvakht and representatives of the SATREPS program agreed to continue their cooperation in the areas of research on water resources and climate change, studying the impact of melting glaciers on water resources, joint research of Japanese scientists and Tajik to protect the water systems of the region, seismic safety and infrastructure, development of earthquake-resistant construction technology, monitoring of tectonic activity in the Pamir Mountains, technical support in the field of energy, as well as research on improving the efficiency of hydroelectric power plants and introducing renewable energy sources strengthen
