Belarus aims for balance in trade relations with Uzbekistan

We are doing our best to achieve a balance in building trade relations, Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Leonid Zayats said at the tenth session of Belarus-Uzbekistan joint intergovernmental commission on bilateral cooperation on 5 December, BelTA reports.

According to Leonid Zayats, Belarus-Uzbekistan interaction is vibrant, and the parties are interested in cooperation.

“In building trade relations we strive to achieve a balance. The active growth of supplies of goods from Uzbekistan observed in recent years is a very positive factor. Belarus has a steady demand for supplies of Uzbekistan's cotton yarn and knitwear, superstructures for special machinery, rolled metal products, wine materials necessary for the Belarusian industry. Belarus is also interested in the purchase of Uzbekistna's fresh fruit and vegetable products, nuts and dried fruits,” the deputy prime minister said.
