During an officials visit by the Leader of the Revolution Muammar Al-Qathafi to Belarus last week, Libya and Belarus signed four agreements related to the economic, judicial and cultural sectors.

The signing ceremony took place on last Monday following talks between the Leader and President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus.

The agreements include a convention on avoiding double taxation, a protocol on cooperation between judicial branches, a memorandum of understanding between the two countries' standardization agencies and an agreement on media cooperation, Itar-Tass said.

"We hail Libya's position as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council on strengthening its role as a guarantor of international peace and security... We will do our utmost to make you proud of our relations," Lukashenko said after officials talks with Al-Qathafi.

Gaddafi arrived in the Belarusian capital of Minsk on Sunday 2 November 2008, coming from Moscow which he visited earlier.
