MINSK, 28 November (BelTA) – Belarus is interested in resuming the operation of vehicle assembly enterprises in Venezuela as fast as possible. Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Piotr Parkhomchik mentioned it during a plenary session of the Belarus-Venezuela trade and economic cooperation commission, BelTA has learned.
Piotr Parkhomchik said: “At present one of the most important topics of bilateral cooperation is the resumption of operation of factories that assemble tractors and trucks in Venezuela. I am convinced that Venezuelan agrarians, transport workers, public utilities, and professionals of many other branches of the Venezuelan economy look forward to receiving these products. I can assure you that Belarus is also interested in resuming the operation of MAZ-VEN and Veneminsk Tractores assembly enterprises in Venezuela as fast as possible. However, the projects should be economically expedient and effective, profitable for both sides.”
In his words, it is also very important to find an opportunity for resuming the realization of civil engineering projects taking into account the fact that the construction of affordable homes for Venezuelan citizens is a priority of the country’s social policy.
