We are ready to offer the experience of union cooperation to our partners in the SCO and BRICS. On October 24, this is discussed in Kazan and St. Petersburg. The Days of Minsk are taking place in the Northern capital and a business council is being prepared.

A delegation of the Belarusian government arrived in the city on the Neva on a working visit.

A. Lukashenko: We fully share the philosophy of BRICS. Belarus is coming to you with specific ideas and projects

In 2024, Russia will chair BRICS under the motto: strengthening multilateralism for fair global development and security. As the unifying force it counts on digitalization of the economy, technological cooperation, logistics and industrial cooperation. This was recently stated at the BRICS Business Council in Moscow. They were also talking about this on October 24 in St. Petersburg.

After all, these topics are always on the agenda in the Russian regions. And what is being said today from the high tribunes in Kazan and discussed behind the scenes is shared by the partners in the Union State.

New contracts are also ready. The amounts will be announced on October 25. The key thing is the supply of equipment.

The work is in full swing in the Rossiya Park. Our enterprises are placing their pavilions to invite everyone to the exhibition-fair on October 25. Here is everything that is known, loved and bought in St. Petersburg - our food products and confectionery. And, of course, Belarusian textiles.

On October 24, Days of Minsk are in St. Petersburg. Although they seem to be here every day.

Our buses and trolleybuses are on the streets, municipal equipment is in the yards, and tractors are in the fields. And this is our strategy for gaining a foothold in near and far markets.
