At the beginning of the meeting, the head of state emphasized that Belarus and the Russian region have developed good relations, there are a number of joint technological projects. "But, frankly speaking, we slowed down a little in 2024 (maybe the statistics do not provide the information quite accurately). We decreased the turnover by about 5-6%," said Alexander Lukashenko. "We are simply obliged to increase this turnover in 2025 and exceed the 315-320 million dollars that we have earned."
