MINSK, June 16 (BelTA) – Armenian businessmen who are willing to
make investments in Belarus will be granted favourable terms in the
country, said President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko as he met
with representatives of Armenian business circles on June 16.
"I will welcome efforts of Armenian businessmen. We will provide
everything necessary for working in Belarus, especially to those
who will make investments here," stressed Alexander Lukashenko. "The
terms will be even more favourable than those in Armenia."
The President added that if Armenian businessmen are eager to set up
enterprises in Belarus to manufacture import-substituting products,
they will be granted the best terms. The Belarusian head of state
underscored that Armenian business can rest assured that they will
be able to take their earnings to the home country.
Alexander Lukashenko remarked that Belarus and Armenia "had no trade
whatsoever literally several years ago". "And now 2-3 years later
we have increased the mutual trade volume by ten times, have found
ways to deliver goods to the markets of our countries, beefing up
trade. It means we have good opportunities," added the President.
The Armenian businessmen underscored that they are interested in
cooperation with Belarus. The businessmen are willing to examine the
areas that Belarus and Armenian can cooperate effectively in during
the ongoing global financial and economic crisis.
