“We need to convert the favorable political capital, the favorable atmosphere of political relations into economic benefits: to intensify our trade, technological exchanges, investment cooperation,” the diplomat said.
According to him, there are also prospects for cooperation in science and high technologies. It is important to develop humanitarian interaction, including in tourism. “There is great interest in our achievements in healthcare,” the ambassador emphasized.
“All these matters will be considered during the upcoming summit talks [during the Belarusian president’s visit to Oman],” Ambassador Sergei Terentyev said.
What is Oman interesting for Belarus? The head of the Belarusian diplomatic mission noted that the country is a gateway to other regions. “The Omani Empire extended down to East Africa, and a large number of Omanis still have relations with East Africa. This will help us to explore the region more actively as well,” the ambassador explained.
“Yemen, Somalia, India - all these countries have very good relations with Oman. Omani business feels very good in those markets, and they are ready to give us a shoulder and support. They see the benefit in helping Belarusian producers to explore the markets. We should use this opportunity,” the diplomat is convinced. “We are already trying to work with the Omanis in this area. I think that after Aleksandr Lukashenko's visit to Muscat we will define concrete steps.”
