Lukashenko: Oman allocates land to Belarus for the creation of a tourist cluster
Oman is allocating land to Belarus for the creation of a tourism cluster. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced this during personnel appointments, speaking about new markets and opportunities opening up, using the development of relations with Oman as an example, as reported by a BELTA correspondent.
"They are allocating land to us so that we can create our own huge tourism cluster there. So that people can fly not only to Turkey and the Emirates. It's literally an hour (an hour longer flight than to the UAE. - BELTA's note) - and you are there, in the ocean. The open ocean. Here you go, come, work, the door is open. But you have to go, you have to go!" the head of state noted.
"It is my task to open the door - come in, work. We were hesitant, we didn't see this Oman. They receive us with pleasure. Ports, factories - please, take them, mix potash fertilizers, produce new ones there, sell them. So many directions are opening up!" Alexander Lukashenko emphasized.
He added that the Omani side is ready to implement large-scale projects on the territory of Belarus as well. One of them is the construction of a pulp and paper mill, a memorandum on which was signed on October 6 following the negotiations in Minsk between the President of Belarus and the Sultan of Oman. "This is almost two billion in investments. They will trust us, they are ready to build it here," the President noted.
Earlier it was reported that the total investment volume for this project will be about $1.4 billion. The enterprise's capacity is expected to be around 800 thousand tons of products per year.
