Belarus to ship 100 urban buses to Cuba by late 2007

Before the year is out, Belarus will ship 100 urban buses to Cuba,
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Belarus to Cuba Igor
Poluyan told BelTA.

In his words, the sides have been discussing the project since April
2006, when Belarus Prime Minister Sergei Sidorsky visited Cuba. The
project is getting final adjustments. First of all, the project aims to
renew the bus fleet of Havana. The diplomat expressed confidence thanks
to the optimal price-quality combination Belarusian buses will enjoy
good demand in Cuba.

Igor Poluyan stressed, Cuba shows significant interest in sophisticated
Belarusian products such as tractors, trucks for various applications
and spare parts. In 2006 Belarus shipped almost 200 MTZ tractors to
Cuba. The signed contracts are expected to at least double the figure
this year, said the Ambassador.
