Belarus now among world's top car manufacturers: Belarussian official

Belarus' first deputy prime minister said Thursday in Minsk that with the establishment of the Samand automobile assembly line in Belarus his country has joined the world's top car manufacturers.

Vladimir Semashko made the remarks at a meeting with Iranian Minister of Industries and Mines Alireza Tahmasbi during which the sides discussed further expansion of Tehran-Minsk relations.

Demand for light vehicles in Belarus is on the rise, he said, adding that Belarussian industrial products can compete with their counterparts in other countries in terms of price, quality and after-sales service.

For his part, the Iranian minister voiced Iran's readiness to boost economic and industrial cooperation with Belarus.

Iranian investors are keen to invest in different areas in Belarus such as in the construction of hotels and trade centers as well as power plants, he said.

He expressed the hope that his visit to Belarus would end with a letter of understanding for cooperation in economic and industrial areas signed by the two sides.
