28.10.2000, MEDIAMAX, YEREVAN. "The Armenian-Belarusian political cooperation is on a rather high level", stated the Prime Minister of Belarus Vladimir Yermoshin before his visit to Armenia in the exclusive interview to the parliamentary paper "Hayastani Hanrapetutiun".
As regards the trade-economic cooperation, Yermoshin thinks it doesn't correspond to the existent potential and both the countries are mutually striving to its normalization.

Touching upon the cooperation in the defense sphere, Yermoshin gave great importance to the joint re-launching of enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Armenia.

The Belarusian premier also named the main priorities of the Armenian-Belarusian cooperation in the foreign policy arena, voicing his opinion that both the states speak from the same or similar positions regarding international problems, they closely communicate within the frameworks of the UN, OSCE and regional organizations. -0-
