During today’s meeting with the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, Sajjad Haider Khan, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to Belarus, said that Pakistan views Belarus as a friend and ally in the region
“Pakistan considers Belarus as a friend and ally in the region. Over the past few years, more than 80 bilateral agreements have been signed while another 10 bilateral agreements are currently under consideration,” noted the diplomat.
Last year, the trade turnover between Belarus and Pakistan reached $92.6m (177.7 percent compared to 2020). The balance is positive, amounting to $63.6m. Our exports were primarily based on tractors and spare parts for them, potash fertilisers, foodstuffs, and medicines. Belarus imports fruits, rice, leather goods, fabrics, textiles, medical devices, and sports equipment.
