Belarus and Russia to hold XI Forum of Regions

Vitebsk Region is actively getting ready for the XI Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia. It has proved to be a unique platform for communication between the leaders of the regions of the two countries.

This was stated today by Chairperson of the Council of the Republic Natalia Kochanova during a trip to Polotsk to monitor the preparation of facilities to be involved in the event. The peculiarity of the current forum is that it will be held in three cities of Belarus: Vitebsk, Polotsk and Novopolotsk. Polotsk was chosen as one of the venues not by chance. It is the oldest city in Belarus. Now it is undergoing reconstruction of its buildings. And as Natalia Kochanova noted, special attention is paid to the preservation of the historical and cultural value of the sites.
