Iran To Draw Up Roadmap With Belarus To Strengthen Economic Ties

TEHRAN, Nov 23 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran’s first vice president, said yesterday that, Tehran and Minsk will draw up a roadmap, to expand economic and trade relations.

Mohammad Mokhber made the remarks, in an address to a joint press conference with visiting Belarusian Prime Minister, Roman Golovchenko, following their meeting in Tehran.

Mokhber said, Iran and Belarus are determined to expand relations in different areas, particularly in the economic field, adding that, one of the decisions the two sides made in their meeting was to activate the private sectors of the two countries, through their chambers of commerce.

Mokhber said, the political relations between Iran and Belarus are at a favourable level, while regretting that the bilateral economic ties have not progressed as much as the political ones.

The two countries have great capacities to further cooperation in the sectors of trade, transit, energy and industry, said Mokhber, adding that, they can also collaborate in the areas of information and technology exchange.

Given that Belarus is also under the West’s sanctions, particularly those of the United States, Iran can share its experience with Minsk, in the area of managing the country under such coercive measures, said the Iranian vice president.

The Belarusian prime minister said, countries that are subject to “illegal pressure and sanctions” can cooperate with each other, and pull themselves out of such conditions with a far stronger economy, through exchanging experiences in the field of technology.

Golovchenko confirmed that the two countries are working on a roadmap, for boosting trade and economic ties between 2023 and 2026, saying, it will be a comprehensive document encompassing all areas.– NNN-IRNA
