Manoilo: Belarus can become a major trade hub for BRICS

The BRICS summit is a huge platform for strengthening political and economic ties. And Belarus can strengthen the ranks of the organization on the world stage with its potential. This opinion was expressed by Russian political scientist, professor of Lomonosov Moscow State University Andrei Manoilo.

“Large integration associations are a large platform, which is very convenient and useful for harmonizing interests. At the same time, summits held within the framework of such integration associations are a very good occasion for bilateral and trilateral contacts,” the political scientist noted.

Andrei Manoilo:

“Belarus is interesting for BRICS. First, in terms of its industry and scientific and technical potential. Secondly, the geographical location of Belarus is very important, because for the BRICS countries Belarus can become a major trade hub, where trade transportation routes leading from Asia to Europe will cross. And in this respect, Belarus is of strategic importance for BRICS”.
