It is important for Belarus to have enterprises in Egypt that will be oriented not only to the Egyptian market, but also to the African market. Given the existence of a free trade agreement here, this is great and promising. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Belarus to Egypt Sergei Terentyev told about it in the program "Main Air".
But, as the diplomat noted, one should calculate everything. "We are working on several projects in the field of industrial cooperation with Egypt and Algeria. Recently we were in Algeria and we worked out very substantially the issues of assembling trucks and passenger vehicles, tractors," he said. - There is great interest in our granaries, there is great interest in our construction equipment. This is all happening right now. If our companies see that it is profitable (and we count everything together with them), why should we refuse? But, on the other hand, if we see that it is more profitable for us to keep the added value that goes into assembly, let us supply fully assembled equipment. And then our dealers, our distribution networks should be fully present here, including, perhaps, even our own entities of our enterprises' distribution networks".
Belarusians are not afraid of competitors, it is not an obstacle for us, the ambassador noted and explained: "For example, Chinese or Indian technicians are not afraid of competitors."
