    On Cooperation Between Belarus and Armenia in Economic Sphere

    Feb. 22 2005

    Press Release - Ministry of Foreign Affairs

    The Belarusian embassy in Armenia has been developing projects on
    setting up assembling manufacturers for Belarusian tractors and
    agricultural equipment in that country. As councilor of the
    Belarusian embassy in Armenia Alexander Soloviev informed, this will
    help to increase competitiveness of the Belarusian commodities by
    cutting down its prime cost.

    In 2004 the trade-economic relations between Belarus and Armenia had
    been developing quite dynamically. The mutual trade turnover reached
    $10,8mln, an increase of 12,4% on 2003. The export jumped to $8,7mln,
    a 19,3% increase.

    The Belarusian commodities at the Armenian market face tough
    competition on practically all positions. At the same time they are
    still in demand. Thus, products of BelAZ continue to top the list of
    the most important exports to that country. Last year 12 dump trucks
    to the total amount of $1,5mln were bought by Armenia. Belarusian MAZ
    trucks, tractors, road equipment are in high demand there as well.

    In 2004 for the first time Belarusian foodstuffs and alcoholic
    beverages came on the Armenian market as a shop selling the products
    of the republican unitary enterprise Minsk-Kristall opened in
    Yerevan. The products of the joint venture Santa Bremor as well as
    dried milk and chocolate goods are in demand in Armenia. The
    Belarusian embassy plans to increase the supply of the
    above-mentioned goods and expand their assortment in the near future.


    2004 saw opening of the affiliate of the republican unitary
    enterprise Belmedpreparaty in Armenia. This step enabled to increase
    by 46% the export of the Belarusian medicine to the country. By the
    way, Belarusian medicine has always been a traditional item in the
    Armenian import paradigm.

    The main objective of the Belarusian embassy in Armenia in 2005 is to
    provide stable functioning of the active trading network as well as
    its expansion, Alexander Soloviov stressed.
