MINSK, 28 October (BelTA) - Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko held a working meeting with his Tajikistan counterpart Kokhir Rasulzoda in Astana, Kazakhstan on 28 October, BelTA has learned.
“It is important that we have moved from export-import operations to serious industrial cooperation projects. This includes the traditional production of Belarusian agricultural machinery. In addition to the well-proven lineup we have mastered new models of harvesters, which are suitable for crops and maize,” said Roman Golovchenko.
“With the personal participation of the Tajikistan president we have launched the production of elevators at the premises of the Tajik company this year. I think we should take a look at the procurement order for this enterprise, so that it could plan its production program, work steadily and contribute to the national economy,” the prime minister said.
Another promising project is the production of carpets. “Where else can we produce them if not in Tajikistan?” the Belarusian head of government asked a rhetorical question. “A corresponding Belarusian-Tajik enterprise has already been registered. Vitebsk Carpets is a partner on Belarus' side,” he added.
