RI, Belarussia finalize drafts of nine agreements

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia and Belarussia have finalized the drafts of six new agreements, namely on visa-free privileges for diplomatic and official passport holders, culture, trade information, sciences and technology, political consultations and legal cooperation, during a meeting held in Belarussia late last month, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

Earlier, in 2004, the two countries also completed the drafts of three agreements, namely on investment protection, technical cooperation protocol and taxation, the ministry said.

The two countries were expected to sign all the new two-party agreements late this year when Belarus President Aleksander Lukashenko and Foreign Minister Sergei Martynov visit Indonesia, the ministry said.

It said both the Indonesian and Belarus delegations to the April 2007 meeting expressed confidence that the signing of the nine agreements would enhance mutually beneficial relations between the two countries.(
