Georgian Agriculture Ministry interested in cooperation with Belarus

The deputy minister said that over the last 20 years the cooperation between the ministries of agriculture of the two states has been almost zero. Meanwhile, agriculture is one of the main economic sectors both in Belarus and Georgia. “I want Georgia to develop a different approach to the cooperation with Belarus.
