MINSK (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st January, 2020) The suspension of oil product exports from Belarus, introduced earlier due to the temporary suspension of oil supplies from Russia to Belarusian refineries, has been canceled, chairman of the Belarusian state oil company Belneftekhim Andrey Rybakov said Tuesday.

"It was a short period of suspension. The suspension was canceled. Although we have not yet reached the export volumes that were mentioned by us in the business plan. But exports itself are not banned," the Belta news agency quoted Rybakov as saying.
