Belarus intends to use port infrastructure in Romanian Constanta to promote exports

16.11.2020. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Belarus to Romania Andrei Grinkevich visited Constanta County, located in the historical region of Dobrudja. A BelTA correspondent was told about this at the Belarusian Embassy in Romania. "The main purpose of the trip is to promote the products of Belarusian enterprises to the Romanian market, as well as to study the possibility of improving the logistics of Belarusian exports both to Romania and through Romania to third countries," the diplomatic mission said. The Belarusian diplomat visited the largest terminals of the seaport in Constanta and met with the leadership of these terminals.

During the negotiations, the parties discussed the possibility of using the port and logistics infrastructure in Constanta to promote Belarusian exports to Romania and through it to other EU states and third countries, as well as to transport Romanian exports through Belarus to the EAEU countries, including using the infrastructure Chinese-Belarusian Industrial Park "Great Stone" as a junction platform of the Silk Road.

Andrei Grinkevich also visited companies located in Constanta in the spheres of industry, including transport, energy, agriculture, and discussed with their leaders the issues of establishing and developing cooperation with the Republic of Belarus.

Constanta is home to Romania's largest seaport and the second largest on the Black Sea. The second longest river in Europe (after the Volga) and the longest river in the European Union, the Danube, flows through Constanta County. Thus, Constanta is the sea gate of Romania. An additional advantage is the presence of a 1520 mm railway track, reaching the seaport in Constanta. The Constanta City Hall uses Belarusian MAZ buses as a city vehicle.
