MINSK, 26 December (BelTA) - Belarus and Kazakhstan are planning to establish a joint venture to produce veterinary medicines, BelTA learned from the press service of the Agriculture and Food Ministry of Belarus.
The ministry hosted a working meeting with senior officials of Kazakh National Agrarian University and the chairman of the board of BioVet KZ. The parties discussed the establishment of the joint venture in Kazakhstan with the prospect of importing veterinary medicines to third countries.
