He also proposed holding negotiations with organizations responsible for attracting investments in Belarus (the National Agency of Investment and Privatization and the Economy Ministry).
"Arriving in the UAE were also representatives of Belarusian businesses: top managers of logistics companies, FEZ administrations, directors of major IT companies and investment consulting companies. They are also holding meetings on the sidelines of the Congress, participating in panel discussions and roundtables," Denis Meleshkin added.
The parties also discussed the cooperation agreement signed in July 2024, specific measures to strengthen business ties and support of joint projects in various areas.
