“We need to develop our logistics cooperation, cheapen the delivery of cargoes from Belarus. If we manage to do so, Turkey will open up new opportunities for us, we will be able to expand the range of products we sell,” Andrei Savinykh believes.

According to the Ambassador, the Belarusian-Turkish relations have a huge potential. Turkey is aspiring to become a regional superpower. The cooperation with this country offers serious prospects not only in trade and economic cooperation. “Our relations with Turkey have a good foundation. First of all, we are trying to bring our technical products to the market of Turkey. We are mulling over the possibility to set up an enterprise to produce road construction and tractor equipment. Belarusian Gomselmash has made good progress. Turkey does not manufacture harvesters. And I hope that this year our harvesters will be used in Turkey,” the diplomat remarked.
