Iran, Belarus sign cooperation document to boost
agricultural ties  

Iran and Belarus have signed a memorandum of understanding
(MoU) to expand mutual cooperation in the agricultural sector.

 According to reports,
the MoU was signed on Wednesday in Tehran on the sidelines of a visit by
Belarus Deputy Agriculture Minister Ivan Ivanovich to the Iranian capital at
the head of an economic delegation.

Practical steps have been outlined in this MOU for the
development of relations between the two countries in the field of agricultural
and food exchange.

Addressing a Joint Economic Committee at the place of the
Iranian Agriculture Ministry, Ivanovich underlined the direct communication
between businessmen and traders of the two countries as a basis for the two
sides to get to know each other and learn about their mutual opportunities and
capacities for cooperation and the expansion of commodity exchanges and joint
investment.

This is the second MoU signed between Tehran and Minks over
the past six months.

Back in November 2022, the two sides signed another MoU for
expanding cooperation in the agricultural sector during a visit of the Iranian
Deputy Agriculture Minister Abbas Askarzadeh to Minsk.

The agricultural delegation of the Islamic Republic of Iran headed
by Askarzadeh had traveled to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, to hold the second
working group of the Iran-Belarus Agricultural Cooperation.
