YEREVAN, 13 March (BelTA – ARMENPRESS) - Belarus and Armenia are planning to set up a joint enterprise to produce elevators, Belarus' Forestry Minister Vitaly Drozhzha said at a meeting of the Armenian-Belarusian intergovernmental commission in Yerevan.

“We have suggested setting a joint enterprise to manufacture elevators in Armenia. Now the country is actively replacing elevators in high-rise buildings. The enterprise could also provide maintenance services,” the minister said.

Armenia’s Minister of Economy Tigran Khachatryan told the media that the production of elevators in Armenia can become one of the priority areas. “The future of elevators production depends on a big elevator program for apartment buildings supervised by the Yerevan Council City. We have put forward all the proposals to Belarusian partners to be discussed on a competitive basis. These discussions take place in different formats, and when their implementation becomes possible from the point of view of competition, we will do everything to ensure that our Belarusian partners find support in Armenia to implement their program,” Tigran Khachatryan said.
