BANGKOK, (NNT) – As a way to encourage future
exchanges of visits with each other, Thailand and Belarus have exempted
visa requirements for diplomatic and government officials while setting
eyes on expanding cooperation in trade and investment.
Thailand’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Don Pramudwinai has met
with Mr Valery Sadokho, Ambassador of Belarus to Thailand, in order to
discuss the promotion of diplomatic relations as well as economic
cooperation between the two nations.
On behalf of his country, the Belarusian Ambassador expressed interest
in seeking new export channels in Thailand for Belarusian products, such
as potash fertilizers, car tires, trucks and tractors. Thailand, on the
other hand, is intent on exporting rubber products and processed
agricultural goods to Belarus.
The delegates also signed an agreement on the mutual exemption of visa
for holders of diplomatic and official passports. The visa waiver is
considered significant to the tightening of friendship between the two
sides and is aimed at persuading their state officials to visit each
other’s country more frequently.
Thailand and Belarus officially established their diplomatic ties on
July 21, 1992. Last year, bilateral trade was worth over 78 million US
dollars while nearly 14,000 visitors to Thailand came from Belarus.
