Oliver Wehner, members of Saxony's parliament, is hopeful the state can form close ties with Belarus when it comes to technology transfer.
Belarus and German state Saxony see technology transfer as a promising avenue of collaboration, the Belarusian Telegraph Agency reported yesterday.
Oliver Wehner, member of the Saxon Landtag, travelled to Minsk as part of a parliamentary delegation this summer and recognised a number of areas that lend themselves to closer cooperation. The visit was followed by a Belarusian delegation to Saxony that ended yesterday.
Universities and Belarus and Saxony have already taken initial steps to develop ties and conduct research as equal partners, Wehner said, though he did not provide further details.
The collaboration between the two states would also extend to the private sector. Officials have invited corporates to seek out and forge their own partnerships but hope to support the work on a political level.
