Alexander Lukashenko said he believes that the organization of the joint production of buses, trucks, municipal vehicles, and road construction machines looks promising. “I am confident that the vehicles and equipment made in India will sell in other Southeast Asia countries, too. We will be able to reach those countries to offer the jointly made Belarusian-Indian products,” said the Belarusian leader. In his opinion, apart from sharing technologies it is necessary to develop distribution networks together for the sake of reaching new markets.

According to the Belarusian head of state, cooperation in tractor production looks as promising. Belarusian tractors have been known in India since the Soviet times. “It seems to me it is now economically advisable to start making vehicles together in India using the Belarus brand. This project follows the spirit of the program Make in India that your government is implementing. Taking into account the Indian national professional skills development program we could provide assistance with training highly qualified specialists that your economy needs,” noted the Belarus President. With this in mind he suggested discussing the establishment of technical education centers in India with assistance of Belarus.

Speaking about the joint promotion of Belarusian and Indian products, Alexander Lukashenko said he believes it is also important to reinforce ties between banks and financial institutions of the two countries.

“We tightly cooperate with Indian companies in the reconstruction and construction of power engineering installations in Belarus. Deeper cooperation in this sphere and in the implementation of other infrastructure projects will be beneficial for the two countries,” said the Belarusian head of state.
