MINSK, 14 February (BelTA) – Belarusian Prime Minister Andrei Kobyakov offered his Turkish counterpart Binali Yildirim to consider founding a bank with Turkish capital in Belarus, BelTA has learned.
“We need to improve freight logistics, map out new transport routes, and discuss the establishment of a bank with Turkish capital in Belarus,” Andrei Kobyakov said.
The Belarusian PM also suggested discussing the possibility of forming a special institution aimed at Turkish investors in a Belarusian free economic zone or the Belarus-China Great Stone industrial park.
According to Andrei Kobyakov, cooperation in science and technology requires a massive boost.
