Upcoming Assignments for Imminent Days
In a significant development, Belarus and Equatorial Guinea have expressed a keen interest in establishing a Belarusian product production and logistics hub in Equatorial Guinea, aiming to supply goods to Central and West Africa. This announcement was made during a visit by a Belarusian government delegation in November 2021.
Sergei Aleinik, Belarus' Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that they aim to achieve multiple agreements with Equatorial Guinea, although he did not list all of them. The discussions during the visit focused on various sectors, including agriculture, energy, and infrastructure.
During the visit, official high-level meetings and sectoral talks were held, and each working group achieved specific results and identified areas of joint work and projects. Belarus is ready to provide its expertise in creating agricultural clusters and assist in planting certain crops in Equatorial Guinea. The country also plans to supply agricultural machinery, seeds, and food to Equatorial Guinea.
The parties are exploring possibilities for joint activity in fish processing. Belarus is also planning to hold its national exhibition in Equatorial Guinea in 2024. The Belarusian government has invited Equatorial Guinea to participate in Minsk's agricultural-industrial week, which will take place in May next year.
In addition to these initiatives, both sides are discussing the construction of poultry farms, energy infrastructure facilities, social housing, and construction material production plants. The package of documents between Belarus and Equatorial Guinea includes around 14 bilateral agreements regulating mutual interaction in various areas, including economy, energy, science and technology, education, culture, and more.
The signed final protocol records serious practical results of their joint work. Sergei Aleinik reiterated Belarus' commitment to developing a respectful, trust-based, and mutually beneficial cooperation with Equatorial Guinea. He expressed a desire to move forward in strengthening and realizing the economic potential of their cooperation.
Official government releases or diplomatic communications from Belarus or Equatorial Guinea around November 2021 would provide precise information about the outcomes of this particular visit. As of now, current search results do not cover this topic extensively. However, it is clear that both countries are committed to fostering a strong and productive relationship.
In the scope of their developing partnership, Belarus and Equatorial Guinea are also envisioning collaborations in the realms of news and lifestyle, aiming to potentially exchange knowledge and resources in these areas. Moreover, they are looking forward to joint home-improvement and home-and-garden projects, with Belarus offering expertise in building social housing and constructing production plants for construction materials.
