ArmInfo. Armenia and Belarus demonstrate good economic dynamics. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart  Roman Golovchenko.

According to the Armenian prime minister, the role of the EAEU is  currently growing, because, "unfortunately, the world is experiencing  difficult economic times." "I should say that the mechanisms that we  have in the EAEU are sometimes very helpful in these situations," he  said, adding that any crisis opens up new opportunities.

In this context, Pashinyan states that in this year. Trade turnover  between Yerevan and Minsk has doubled.  "We have very good economic  dynamics. I hope that as a result of our meetings and negotiations,  we will be able to maintain it and we will have more common projects  that will be competently organized and will benefit both countries,"  the prime minister said.

Roman Golovchenko, in turn, noted that foreign trade with Armenia is  balanced. Both Belarusian exports to Armenia and deliveries from  Armenia to Belarus are growing. "Investments are growing. It is also  a two- way road. The number of registered enterprises with Belarusian  capital in Armenia and Armenian capital in Belarus has increased.  This is a very good reflection of the fact that we are actively and  effectively working at different levels," said Golovchenko.

According to the statistical data of the Republic of Armenia, the  trade turnover between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of  Belarus from January to August 2022 increased by 2.4 times - up to  $106.7 million.
