Source-derived summary

Pakistan was one of the first countries to recognise Belarus after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Pakistan maintains an embassy in Minsk; Belarus maintains an embassy in Islamabad.

Economic relations

Pakistan and Belarus initiated joint ventures (JVs) in the textile, pharmaceutical and lighting solution industries while sharing technological expertise with each other.

Pakistan's imports from Belarus stood at $42.65 million which mainly consisted of tractors (62.04%), artificial filament yarn (13.01%) and rubber tires (8.06%).

Belarus has lauded Pakistan's role and efforts in bringing peace and stability to the world by countering terrorism and offered his country's full support in this fight.

In April 2025, Belarusian and Pakistani authorities announced that a deal had been made where Pakistan would send 100,000 to 150,000 specialist workers to Belarus. Belarus aims to acquire qualified workers for its manufacturing, construction and technology sectors to address its deepening labour shortage.

In October 2025, a Pakistani cement factory announced it had struck a deal with the Belarusian company Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ) to assemble MTZ tractors in the Pakistani province of Balochistan.

State visits

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko visited Pakistan on 29 May 2015 on a two-day state visit and again on 4 October 2016.

President Lukashenko held meetings with President Mamnoon Hussain and Prime minister Nawaz Sharif during the course of his visit, and a number of important agreements and memoranda of understanding were signed between the two countries.
