Belarus plans to reach $5 billion in export supplies to Latin America in the near future, Belarus Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Guryanov said during an online conference hosted by BelTA.
“Within the next two years, and it was noted at the meeting of the Belarusian president with the heads of the Belarusian diplomatic missions, we should reach $5 billion in export supplies to the countries of Latin America. Here we proceed from the current work and promising projects,” the deputy minister said. “Thus, Brazil is a key market in potash fertilizers (alongside with China and India). We will restore our positions on the Brazilian market. Latin America is also very attractive in what concerns Belarusian assembly plants,” he added.
Alexander Guryanov named the main priorities, i.e. stepping up cooperation with Venezuela, developing cooperation with Ecuador and Bolivia based on foreign political agreements, and promoting vigorous cooperation with Brazil and Argentina.
