TEHRAN, Aug. 14 (MNA) – The eleventh Iran-Belarus Joint Economic Committee Meeting will be held in Minsk in November, an official with the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran said here on Sunday. Abdolhamid Asadian told IRNA news agency that on the sidelines of the meeting an exclusive fair will be set up by a number of Iranian businessmen and marketing specialists. Trade between Iran and Belarus has witnessed a 37 percent growth in the first half of the current year compared with the same period in the previous year, Press TV quoted Iran's commercial attaché in Minsk last week. Akbar Baqerilouyeh said that the Tehran-Minsk trade hit $54.28 billion in the first six months of 2011. He added that the export of Iranian products and services to Belarus stood at $29.79 billion, and the volume of imports from the Eastern European country reached $24.49 billion during the period. The official added that the Islamic Republic is now implementing about 100 projects in Belarus, including a cement factory, a hotel, and a trade center. Earlier in June, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad praised growing ties between the two countries in a telephone conversation with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, saying that bilateral relations would benefit both nations as well as the region.
