Belarus ready for deep industrial cooperation and widen agri sector partnership with India: FM Maxim Ryzhenkov
Belarus is ready for deeper industrial cooperation and is highly interested in the advanced development of Indian pharmaceutical companies, and prepared to establish joint ventures and localise production in India, Maxim Ryzhenkov said.
Belarus is a BRICS partner country and has a long-standing relationship with India, dating back to the Soviet Union era. The two nations have expanded their cooperation beyond key items like potash fertilizers and Indian pharmaceuticals to include agricultural and cargo machinery, fertilizers, and more. Belarus is eager for deeper industrial collaboration with India and is interested in the advanced developments of Indian pharmaceutical companies, showing readiness to establish joint ventures and localize production in India.
The trade turnover between the two nations exceeded $1 billion for the first time in 2025 and continues to grow. To strengthen their defense partnership, Belarus and India can leverage Belarus's expertise in servicing and modernizing Soviet-era military hardware, which is currently used by the Indian Army. Additionally, both countries can further enhance their collaboration at international platforms like BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, focusing on regional security, counter-terrorism, and combating transnational crime.
