Three cooperation documents were inked between Iran and Belarus in the fields of forestry, veterinary medicine and animal husbandry, Iran’s minister of agriculture said on Wednesday.
Mohammad Ali Nikbakht, who accompanied Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber on a visit to Belarus, said Tehran and Minsk signed the cooperation documents in the field of agriculture.
The two countries enjoy high potentials and capabilities to boost their ties in all fields, especially trade, economy, forestry, and animal husbandry, he emphasized.
Iran’s major portion of potash fertilizer is supplied from Belarus, the agricultural minister said, adding, “In return, Iran exports agricultural and horticultural products including fresh fruits and vegetables, and various kinds of dried nuts and citrus fruits.”
Mokhber visited Belarus on Tuesday at the head of a high-ranking trade and economic delegation and at the official invitation of the prime minister of Belarus to discuss bilateral ties and issues of mutual interest.
