Belarus - Russia: mutually beneficial cooperation

There is everything necessary to strengthen economic and food security of our countries. The total trade turnover for 5 months increased by 7%, which means a billion. And for several years in a row, the annual export-import piggy bank has been breaking records. Last year it was 54 billion dollars. This year there are all the prerequisites to take a new milestone, the activity of business contacts is high, the relations are maintained and developed at the level of enterprises and the leadership of Russian regions. Governors are frequent guests in Minsk. And with each region we find our niches for mutually beneficial cooperation from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok.

Alexander Drozdenko, Governor of the Leningrad Region of Russia:

“We reached one billion USD of trade turnover last year. These are very good figures. We have a lot of areas for business today. It is not only agricultural machinery or agricultural products. It is already construction. Belarusian colleagues are building a school in our Leningrad Region. Today we are actively working to attract business. “Amkodor” will build a plant for the production of special heavy machinery. Today we are looking for partnerships with Belarus to supply spare parts for automobile components. We have everything from tire to interior layout. That is, we have such very good prospects.”
