“In order to diversify oil supplies in Belarus in 2020-2023, an investment project will be implemented to build the Gomel-Gorki oil trunk pipeline,” Lukashenka’s press service said.

It is noted that the president signed the relevant order on April 29.

The customer for the design and construction of the pipeline was selected Gomeltransneft Druzhba OJSC.

Earlier it was reported that Belarus purchased the first batch of oil from the Saudi Aramco oil company.
