MINSK, 28 December (BelTA) – China National Chemical Engineering Corporation (CNCEC) may take part in the tender to build a nitrogen plant in Belarus. The possibility was discussed as Ambassador of Belarus to China Kirill Rudy met with CNCEC Director General for International Business Wang Lei, representatives of the embassy told BelTA.

Wang Lei informed about the Chinese company’s successful track record in building chemical enterprises in China, Russia, Egypt, and Indonesia. The sides discussed prospects of CNCEC taking part in the tender for building a nitrogen plant in Belarus.
