On 10 March 2021, Ambassador of Pakistan to Belarus Mr. Sajjad Haider Khan accompanied by the Deputy Head of Mission Abdullah Amin visited “Great Stone” Industrial Park in Minsk. Head of Administration of the Industrial Park Mr. Aliaksandr Yarashenka received the Ambassador and provided a compressive tour of the facility and briefed the delegation on the origin, scope, ongoing projects, and future prospects of the project. The project is part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Mr. Yarashenka was the former Belarusian Deputy Minister of Economy.
The park offers all the benefits of a free economic zone coupled with unique tax and legislative advantages. Great Stone’s convenient location, simplified business processes, and advanced, ready-to-use infrastructure have attracted around 70 investors from 14 countries since its establishment, five years ago.
Mr. Yarashenka also welcomed the potential Pakistani investors to benefit from the ideal investment opportunities.
Appreciating the progress made in the industrial park, the Ambassador of Pakistan to Belarus briefed the management on the China Pakistan Economic Corridor where 9 SEZs are planned with four of them at advanced stages of development. The two sides agreed to remain in touch and work closely for the mutual benefit of the two countries.
