Lanchevsky Vsevolod, an advisor to the Belarusian President, made the remark at a meeting with President Truong Tan Sang in Hanoi on December 5.

The advisor affirmed that Belarus would make every effort to realise the joint venture projects, adding that the country is willing to providing personnel training for Vietnam.

He said the relationship between the two countries and people will create favourable conditions for their co-operative projects in energy, education and high technology, to be signed and implemented soon.

President Sang said bilateral trade between the two sides remains modest and there remains huge potential for further co-operation.

He suggested Vietnam and the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, push the negotiations towards reaching a free trade agreement among them to pave the way for enterprises to penetrate each other’s markets.

The President said many Vietnamese businesses operating in telecommunications, the food industry and textiles intend to invest in Belarus.

He also affirmed that Vietnam encourages the two countries’ enterprises to further invest in and support their strategic co-operative projects.
