MINSK, 12 November (BelTA) – Belarus has joined the SCO Agreement on International Road Transportation, BelTA learned from the Belarusian embassy in China.

“The agreement between the governments of the SCO member states to create favorable conditions for international road transportation of 12 September 2014 came into force for Belarus, which has an observer status in the organization, on 11 November.
