Yokohama confirms Belshina meeting took place

Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd. executives have confirmed that the firm’s chairman recently visited Belshina. According to the company, the visit followed earlier meetings with Belarussian managers in Japan. However, Yokohama executives stopped short of confirming joint venture reports and instead issued the following carefully worded statement:

“Earlier this year representatives of Belshin visited The Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd., in Japan. Recently a delegation from The Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd, led by its Chairman Mr Tadanobu Nagumo returned the courtesy visit to Belshin.”
