Belarus: Our cooperation with Iran, China and Russia is expanding

According to Isna, he further said that European producers should put the sanctions imposed by the European Union beyond the competition with Russian and Belarusian companies.

According to the report of the Russian News agency “Ryanovsky”, Riznekov stated on Tuesday evening: “Sanctions are both problems and new opportunities. Trade turnover with China is growing. Our products are in demand for thousands of kilometers and are sold at good prices, and imagine how successful we would be there if everything was right when our products entered the European market.

He also emphasized that in the past, the European Union market was a money market for Belarus and it was easier to deliver goods in this market, but “now Belarus’ cooperation with China, Iran, Russia and the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States is developing.”

“Today, the main stream of business goes there,” Riznekov explained. But the most interesting thing is that as trade with these regions has multiplied, our trade with individual EU countries has not decreased so much. “The business still finds opportunities to deliver even in these circumstances.”

He added: “The customs services of the European Union are passing the trucks at the border with a much lower volume than usual, thus creating artificial barriers.”

Belarus’ relations with Western countries have deteriorated sharply after the 2020 presidential election. Western countries have gradually imposed sanctions against Belarusian officials, companies and industries. The new stage of expansion of Western sanctions against Belarus occurred due to Minsk’s support for Russia’s special military operations in Ukraine.
