The complementary character of the economies of the two countries offer promising prospects for building up trade and economic relations and promotion of the Belarusian export to this region” Valery Voronetsky stressed.
The agreement creates the conditions for development of investment contacts. It will enable the two countries to strengthen the guarantees of investment protection.
