The Belarusian Chamber of Commerce met with a Georgian delegation on Thursday to discuss issues of trade and economic cooperation.

The meeting placed the highest priority on agricultural machine-building, as Belarusian machinery is widely used by the agricultural enterprises of Georgia. The parties also agreed to exchange business delegations in the near future, with the first visit of the Georgian delegation to Belarus planned for April 17.

The Georgian representatives expressed a readiness to work out the initiative.
