MINSK, 11 June (BelTA) – Belarusian Railways presented its transit potential at the international logistics, telematics, and transport expo Transport Logistic in Munich. The Belarusian railway administration also signed a trilateral agreement with PAO TransContainer and DB Cargo Logistics GmbH.

First Deputy Head of Belarusian Railways Igor Shilov signed the agreement on behalf of the Belarusian railway administration.
