Minsk, December 16 (Xinhua) — Belarus is placing particular emphasis on expanding cooperation with countries in the Global South. Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Karankevich stated this on Monday during the Strategic Forum on concluding a free trade agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Indonesia.
According to the press service of the Council of Ministers of Belarus, he noted that the country is chairing the Eurasian Economic Union this year. "Developing mutually beneficial cooperation with the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is among the priorities of Belarus's chairmanship of the EAEU. Belarus views Indonesia as a key partner in the Southeast Asian region," V. Karankevich stated.
On November 24, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko signed Decree No. 413, approving a draft free trade agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and its member states, and Indonesia, as a basis for negotiations. Minsk is fully prepared to sign this agreement, the Deputy Prime Minister noted.
“It is no exaggeration to say that the creation of a free trade zone will open a new chapter in the development of trade and economic ties between the EAEU countries and Indonesia, and will allow for the expansion and significant expansion of mutually beneficial cooperation,” V. Karankevich concluded. –0–
