I am confident that effectiveness and results of contacts of the business community will secure the successful development of interstate relations in trade and economic affairs on the whole,” said Andrei Kobyakov.

Prime Minister of Belarus Andrei Kobyakov stated that positive dynamics in the development of Belarus-Oman trade and economic relations has been registered this year. “At the same time trade figures are extremely low. The potential for Belarus-Oman trade and economic interaction is far from being fully utilized,” stressed the Prime Minister.

Andrei Kobyakov assured that Belarus is ready to advance cooperation with Oman in a number of areas. “We are ready to supply BelAZ quarry vehicles and mining machines, Amkodor road construction and municipal vehicles, MAZ automobiles and buses as well as all kinds of agricultural machines. These Belarusian products are already known on the Omani market,” he remarked.

Any project the Omani side may be interested in will be viewed from the point of special Belarus-Oman relations in the spirit of mutually beneficial partnership, friendship and trust. “I am confident that despite crisis phenomena in the world economy we will secure the desired results by combining our efforts. All the necessary prerequisites, conditions, and, most of all, good will are available for it,” said Andrei Kobyakov. “I hope our meeting, your negotiations in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Trade Ministry, and meetings with potential Belarusian partners will allow working out a concrete plan for future interaction between the business circles of Belarus and Oman. It will contribute to more vigorous Belarusian-Omani cooperation.”
