MINSK, 6 October (BelTA) – Belarus and Oman are discussing matters of invigorating the bilateral contacts with a focus on economy and investments. During negotiations with Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tariq Al Said Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko talked about the realization of joint projects and about the work to set up a hub in Oman for the sake of promoting Belarusian products, BelTA has learned.
“In Muscat [during Aleksandr Lukashenko’s visit to Oman in December 2024] you and I said that initially it is necessary to launch 2-3 joint projects and move forward. One can say that this task is being accomplished by our private sector. With our projects in Oman we are reinforcing food security of not only Oman but your entire region,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “Omani investments in the sphere of wood processing will help more efficiently use Belarus’ natural riches. Moreover, intensive contacts have allowed forming a serious pool of additional projects.”
The president offered gratitude for interest in organizing joint assembly enterprises and sales of MAZ and Amkodor vehicles and machines. He stated that Belarusian enterprises are ready to transition cooperation with the partners chosen by the Omani side into the practical dimension.
“As a result, we intend to reach the point of setting up a good and long-term supporting point in Oman – a hub for promoting Belarusian products in the region of the Persian Gulf and East Africa,” the Belarus president said.
Prospects for interaction in pharmaceutics are also available: the first few contracts have been signed on shipping Belarusian medications to Oman. The medications are now going through the certification process.
“We are open to any initiatives of the Omani side and would be glad to make our own contribution to the realization of your ambitious strategic plan for developing the country: the Oman Vision 2040,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stated.
As a common task he suggested not reducing the current pace and dynamics of interaction while reinforcing the high level of trust between both countries. To accomplish this task, in addition to economy the parties have access to tools like cooperation in sport and in culture.
“Mutual meetings and visits are very important for promoting our projects. Just the way you are doing it today. If we support this high level of our relations, I am convinced that all the projects and contracts we have signed and we have yet to sign will be implemented on time. The dialogue between Belarus and Oman is destined to become an example of genuinely equal, trustful, and mutually beneficial cooperation between two friendly countries. All our agreements will be fulfilled by the Belarusian side without fail and on time. Because Oman is an extremely interesting country for us. We will reciprocate,” the Belarusian leader is convinced.
