Beijing-based Shougang Corporation, China's prestigious iron and steel group, and Byelorussian autoworks have recently clinched a deal on jointly building a technological service center for heavy-duty mining vehicles.

Zhu Jimin, board chairman of the Shougang, and Rusetski, industry minister of Byelorussia, attended the signing ceremony for the agreement held in Beijing recently between the Shougang Mining Company and the Production Association Byelorussia Autoworks.

"The two sides will provide better service for the Chinese customers of Byelorussian autoworks and at the same time, promote the sales of Byelorussian products," said Rusetski.

Zhu Jimin said the Shougang Mining Company began to use the heavy-duty mining vehicles made by the Byelorussian company at the end of the 1970s and has since used more than 500 vehicles. It has accumulated experience in the use, maintenance and management of such vehicles.

The newly established service center will provide technical support to all products of the Byelorussian autoworks in China.
