MINSK, 8 June (BelTA) – Constructive political dialogue and the positive experience of contacts on international platforms create favorable prerequisites for launching full-scale cooperation between Belarus and Ghana. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement during expanded-attendance negotiations with Ghana President John Dramani Mahama in Minsk on 8 June, BelTA has learned.
First of all, Aleksandr Lukashenko welcomed on the Belarusian soil the participants of the first-ever Belarus-Ghana bilateral top-level negotiations.
“The positive experience of contacts on international platforms creates favorable prerequisites and predictable conditions for launching full-scale cooperation between the two countries,” the Belarusian leader stated. “We are ready to share the competences we’ve developed in various branches of the manufacturing sector and agriculture, to use the entire range of available formats of interaction.”
“Our strength lies not only in the export of food but in the availability of the full range of competences starting with mechanical engineering and fertilizers and ending with domain-specific education and agrarian science. All of it is at the service of our partners, including in Africa,” he stressed.
During the current visit to Belarus John Dramani Mahama was also made familiar with economic capabilities and the natural uniqueness of Brest Oblast. “I am confident that the history of this heroic land and modern technologies of the enterprises that successfully develop here have convinced you that we have resources for cooperation between our regions,” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted.
The Belarus president pointed out that the Ghana president is accompanied not only by an official delegation but also by respected representatives of the private sector and a Belarus-Ghana business forum is supposed to take place on the sidelines of the visit. “We expect it to become the reference point for active direct interaction of the business circles in the fields of agriculture and food, manufacturing sector and infrastructure development, healthcare and pharmaceutics, education, transportation, and logistics,” the head of state concluded.
