On November 25, Pakistan’s Minister for Industries and Production, Rana Tanveer Hussain, and Belarusian Minister for Industries, Aliaksandr Yafimua, discussed the potential to enhance bilateral relations, particularly in industrial and agricultural cooperation. Minister Hussain emphasized the importance of exploring new avenues to augment industrial cooperation across multiple sectors including agriculture and food security. Both ministers expressed a firm commitment to advance their partnership in various areas. Minister Yafimua pointed out Belarus’s annual import of goods worth $17.2 billion and noted the underrepresentation of Pakistani products in this trade. He highlighted the potential for Pakistani exports like inflatable footballs, bedding, sports equipment, footwear, and goods made of rubber, plastic, and metal. The discussion also covered opportunities in agricultural machinery and tractor manufacturing. The Belarusian delegation showed a keen interest in establishing tractor manufacturing plants and exploring technology transfer through Joint Ventures (JVs) in Pakistan. Furthermore, Minister Hussain invited his counterpart to initiate a pilot project aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity in Pakistan. He mentioned that Millat Group, known for its specialization in agricultural machinery, is keen on forming a joint venture to manufacture agricultural equipment in Pakistan.
