Gomel is Belarus’ main bridge for trade and investment with Ukraine, Gomel region governor Vladimir Dvornik told the forum on Friday. With trade growing by 25% a year since 2016, Gomel’s main Ukrainian trading partners are its three southern neighbors: Chernihiv, Kyiv and Zhytomyr. He said almost 40% of the 290 Ukrainian companies in Belarus are based in Gomel, many in the regional capital’s free economic zone, Gomel-Raton. A road and rail hub for Belarus’ southeast corner, Gomel also serves as a transit point for Ukraine’s indirect trade with Russia.
