According to the diplomat, the dairy industry has received a significant boost both in Belarus and France.

Some French companies have been successfully operating in Belarus, he added. “Several French companies have been setting in motion projects in Belarus for a long time. They are very effective,” Didier Canesse remarked.
A French delegation will be in Belarus on a visit from 18 to 20 April.
