MINSK, 23 January (BelTA) – Syria will get 50 MAZ buses as a gift from the president and people of Belarus, BelTA learned from the press service of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“On the instructions of the Belarusian head of state, Maksim Ryzhenkov handed over symbolic certificates for 50 MAZ buses to the Syrian leader. These buses are a gift to the Syrian people from the president and people of Belarus. They will be produced and delivered to Syria within the next three months,” the ministry said.
