Prospects for the delivery of Belarusian goods to Turkey along the
Dnieper were discussed at a meeting between Chairman of the Council of
the Republic Mikhail Myasnikovich and Turkey Prime Minister Binali
Yıldırım on 7 August, BelTA learned from the press service of the
Council of the Republic.
The parties welcomed the entry into force of the intergovernmental
agreement to develop a mutual trade facilitation system, the so-called
green corridor of fast-track customs clearance of goods. “To further
reduce the costs of delivery of Belarusian export goods to Turkey
Mikhail Myasnikovich and Binali Yıldırım discussed the prospects for
deliver of goods by water transport along the Dnieper River, the
construction of a port for “river-sea class” vessels in Nizhnie Zhary
locality in Gomel Oblast,” the press service noted.
During the meeting the parties also discussed the cooperation in
trade and economy. It was noted that further development of economic
cooperation is an important step given the developing friendly relations
between the two countries. “Mikhail Myasnikovich stressed that Turkey
is among the most important and promising economic partners of Belarus.
One of the priorities of economic cooperation with Turkey for Belarus is
to promote industrial cooperation. Belarusian enterprises are already
working with Turkish partners on developing the facilities to assemble
farm machines, construction and utilities vehicles and other
special-purpose equipment,” the press service of the upper house of the
Belarusian parliament informed.
Particular attention was paid to the ways of deepening cooperation in
the banking sector, namely the setting up of a banking institution in
Belarus with Turkish participation and a possibility of making
settlements in national currencies.
At the end of the meeting the Chairman of the Council of the Republic
invited the Turkish head of government to pay an official visit to
Belarus.
