MINSK, 3 March (BelTA) – Belarus and Armenia need to develop industrial cooperation, Chairman of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Vladimir Ulakhovich told BelTA ahead of the meeting of the Armenian ambassador to Belarus with Belarusian business representatives.
“In cooperation with Armenia we need to take into account its possibilities not only as a country with its own market, but also as a country through which it is possible to promote jointly produced goods to the nearest markets. Cooperation is promising in such areas as mechanical engineering, woodworking, and food production. For our countries, industrial cooperation means mastering and implementing new technologies, providing logistics and marketing support in promoting products of Armenian enterprises to the European Union, and those of Belarusian enterprises to the markets of the neighboring countries,” the head of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry said.
Another strategically important area, in his opinion, is cooperation in IT. “Belarus and Armenia have made significant progress in the area. The IT sector is developing by its own rules, and making it an interstate platform for cooperation is a very serious step that we can make,” Vladimir Ulakhovich stressed.
According to the chairman of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Belarus and Armenia also need to strengthen cooperation in science. “The sector is highly developed in our countries. There are innovations that can be introduced into production today,” he added.
