Feb 5 2007
Henadz Navitski, chairman of the National Assembly's Council of
the Republic, met with Armenian Ambassador Oleg Yesayan in Minsk on
February 5.
"Armenia is a strategic partner of Belarus, which is evidenced
by regular meetings between the heads of state and government,"
Mr. Navitski said at the meeting.
The chairman of Belarus' upper parliamentary house expressed a high
opinion of the activities of inter-governmental and inter-parliamentary
commissions formed for developing bilateral ties.
Mr. Navitski noted that two-way trade had risen tenfold since 2000,
lauding cooperation between Belarus and Armenia within international
organizations and a 55-agreement legal framework governing the
bilateral relationship.
The diplomat, for his part, described relations between the Belarusian
and Armenian peoples as "traditionally brotherly." He said that Minsk
and Yerevan share views on many international problems, adding that
Armenia plans to develop cooperation with Belarus in all spheres.
The countries established diplomatic relations on June 11, 1993.
Armenia ranks seventh among CIS countries in terms of trade with
Belarus. In 2006, bilateral trade grew by 57.7 percent to $23.6
million. Belarus supplies Armenia with trucks, tires, road construction
machinery, special-purpose vehicles, plywood and matches, and imports
mainly alcoholic beverages from the country, told BelaPAN.
