Itar-Tass July 22, 2006 Venezuela president to arrive in Belarus on official visit MINSK - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will for the first time pay an official visit to Belarus on Saturday. In the course of the visit Chavez plans to meet Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko, visit the Great Patriotic War Museum and the Stalins Line historical-cultural complex. Spokesman for the Belarussian Foreign Ministry Andrei Popov said, In the course of the Belarussian-Venezuelan summit the sides are expected to discuss the key problems of international life, issues related to the expansion of the two countries interaction in the United Nations and the Non-Alignment Movement, as well as development of bilateral cooperation in a wide range of spheres. A big preparatory work preceded Chavez visit. At the end of last year and this year several delegations from Venezuela visited Belarus. According to the Belarussian Foreign Ministry, in the run-up to the visit a group of Venezuelan specialists arrived in Belarus for joint work with the Belarussian partners on specification of mutual interests and preparation of a number of documents on the establishment of full-scale cooperation between the two countries for signing. Belarus and Venezuela had earlier maintained political contacts mainly at the level of foreign ministers. Bilateral trade-economic cooperation has been developing unstably. In 2004-2005 Belarussian potassium fertilizers accounted for a major portion in the mutual trade turnover. Last year the volume of bilateral trade exceeded 15 million US dollars. However, judging by the results of the first four months of the current year Belarus exported no products to Venezuela. Belarusian imports accounted for just 6,000 dollars. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
