Ho noted that the forum was visited by a delegation of 15 companies.
Ulakhovich stressed that relations with Azerbaijan are an asset that should be protected. "We must strengthen the relations, established by the leaders of our countries," he said. The current trade turnover does not correspond to the potential, the head of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry believes.
Ulakhovich also drew attention to the fact that over the past two years there has been a trend towards its growth. It is quite possible to increase the trade turnover to $2 billion, he said. Ulakhovich added that in Belarus, they are very fond of Azerbaijani products, especially tomatoes.
