MINSK – General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee Tô Lâm visited the Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ), the main tractor producer in Belarus, on May 12 afternoon (local time) as part of his state visit to the country.

The Vietnamese Party General Secretary was accompanied by Belarusian Prime Minister Aleksandr Turchin.

After being introduced to the factory and watching its signature products, the Vietnamese Party leader noted that many of MTZ's machinery models are well-suited to Việt Nam's conditions and appropriate for use in small and medium-sized industrial establishments, saying the vehicles and machines can be utilised in agriculture, construction, and many other sectors. Việt Nam can collaborate in manufacturing such components as engines and tires for export to various markets, he said.

General Secretary Lâm expressed his hope for active cooperation between MTZ and Vietnamese partners, making contributions to each country’s economic development. The successful collaboration in this sector could become a symbol of Việt Nam-Belarus relations, further strengthening the friendship between the two countries.
