Belarus, China to ink memorandum on cooperation in automobile and water transport

Transport authorities of Belarus and China plan to sign a memorandum on cooperation in automobile transport, inland water transport and construction of relevant infrastructure, BelTA learnt from Sergei Negrei, Head of the Foreign Trade Office of the Belarusian Transport and Communication Ministry.

In his words, a session of the Belarusian-Chinese commission for trade and economic cooperation is supposed to take place in early December 2008. "We may be able to sign this memorandum within the framework of the commission," said Sergei Negrei.

The official also mentioned the importance of cooperation with China in this area. "China protects its domestic transportation market and keeps foreign companies out of it. The memorandum will become the first stage of the creation of legislation meant to organise transportation between the two countries," stressed the ministry official.

The decision to support the proposal of the Belarusian Transport and Communication Ministry concerning the signing of the memorandum was laid down by Council of Ministers resolution No 1586 of October 24, 2008. The proposal was agreed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Justice Ministry.
