Diplomatic relations

On 13 February 1992 diplomatic relations were established for the first time.

Neither Spain has an embassy in Minsk, nor Belarus in Madrid. The ambassador of Spain in Moscow is accredited in Belarus. The Belarus ambassador in Paris is accredited in Spain. The issuance of visas to residents in Belarus who intend to travel to Spain corresponds to the embassy of France in Minsk. There is an honorary consul of Spain in Minsk.[1] While Belarus has two consulates in Alicante and Barcelona.[2]

The bilateral relations maintained by Spain and Belarus are scarce.[3]

Economic relations

In 2013, the bilateral trade with Belarus (189.7 million euros) represented 0.037% of the total trade of Spain with the rest of the world, which places that country as the 109th commercial partner of Spain.

The Spanish business presence is of little importance, although there have been significant growth rates of Spanish exports in recent years, which have gone from €79.56m in 2010 to €143.48m in 2013.

The main Spanish exports to Belarus are, in this order, machines and mechanical devices; fruits, vegetables and vegetables; automobile vehicles and stone manufactures. As for Belarusian imports, they are less diversified, since more than half are fuels and a quarter are fertilizers.[4]

Cooperation

Spain carries out a reception program for children from Belarus, affected by the Chernobyl disaster, by Spanish families (about 3,000 children at Christmas and summer). Spain contributed €50,000 [€2008] to the Trust Fund of the European Humanities University (in exile in Vilnius). From 2001 to 2012 there was a reader of AECID at the State Linguistic University of Minsk.[5]
