MINSK, 7 May (BelTA) - Contracts worth $6.5 million were signed following the Belarusian‑Egyptian Business Forum on 7 May, BelTA learned from the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“In 2025, trade between Belarus and Egypt amounted to $110 million. But that is far from what we can achieve. Given the potential of our countries, we are confident we can set even higher targets. However, to reach them, we first need business‑to‑business contacts,” Oleg Dikun, Deputy Minister of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade, said. “Our countries and peoples are bound above all by deep respect for our own histories and traditions, as well as incredible hard work. Our peoples have proved that everything most valuable in our history we have created through our labor, perseverance, and devotion to our native land.”
About 150 representatives of Belarusian and Egyptian businesses took part in the forum. They gathered in Minsk to present their products and discuss joint projects. The event was organized as part of the visit of Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Mohamed Farid Saleh of the Arab Republic of Egypt to Belarus to attend a meeting of the Belarusian‑Egyptian Joint Trade Commission.
The plenary session of the business forum was attended by the leadership of the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade and the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Representatives of Belarusian and Egyptian enterprises gave presentations and signed commercial contracts and agreements. Extended Belarusian‑Egyptian B2B negotiations took place after the plenary session.
Belarus supplies Egypt with tractors and other machinery, dairy products, woodworking products, and rolled metal. Belarus imports fruits, spices, and chemical products from Egypt.
