Kochanova: Dialogue between Belarus and Russia developing in all fields
"The dialogue between Belarus and Russia is developing in absolutely all spheres, and the interaction that is taking place in the implementation of 28 Union programs gives confidence in the future," said the Speaker of the Upper Chamber of the Parliament Natalia Kochanova during the meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Russia to Belarus Boris Gryzlov. They discussed preparations for the Forum of Belarusian-Russian Regions to be held on June 23-24 in Grodno. Cooperation in education and exchange of students was also discussed.
The Russian Federation has significantly increased the number of budgetary places in Russian universities, and starting from September, 1100 Belarusian students can study with us on the basis of the Russian budget. And this, I think, is a very good result, because it is 1.5 times more than this year.
During the meeting the parties also discussed a number of issues of further interaction in the legislative field.
