Belarus and Vietnam to jointly produce heavy-duty vehicles

Lukashenko revealed this information following his talks with Party General Secretary To Lam in Minsk on 12 May.

"During the talks we paid serious attention to the manufacturing sector, and mechanical engineering in particular. We are in full agreement here; it is important to resume regular deliveries of rock haulers, trucks, and, of course, legendary Belarusian tractors to Vietnamese customers," President Lukashenko said.

"We also agreed to accelerate a scheme to set up joint production of Belarusian tractors and Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ) vehicles at the site of our friends, that will also cater to other markets in the region," he added.

MAZ is a state-run automotive manufacturer association in Belarus, one of the largest in Eastern Europe.

Belarus and Vietnam have historically cooperated in the areas of agriculture and food supplies. The two sides also decided to strengthen interaction in science and technology and to hold a regular meeting of the joint Belarusian-Vietnamese commission on cooperation in this area later this year.

Belarus and Vietnam established diplomatic relations in 1992 and since then, both countries have maintained and developed the traditional friendship and multi-faceted cooperation.

The two sides have established collaboration in a wide range of areas, including trade, culture, education, science and technology, and national defence and security.
