emphasized that minsk has always remained close to moscow in sorrow and joy. in recent years, belarusian-russian interaction has acquired an unprecedented character at all levels. particular attention was paid to the topic of forming a single space of the union state in the areas of defense and security. noted that the solution

to this task is facilitated by the joint regional groupings of forces deployed on the territory of the republic, as well as modern russian defense systems and tactical nuclear weapons, which reliably cover our common western borders in accordance with the decisions that were made by the presidents of the two countries. we analyzed the progress of work on the draft security concept of the union state and bilaterally. interstate agreement on security guarantees, spoke in favor of strengthening military-technical cooperation. we condemn the actions of western countries that led to the ukrainian crisis and the final collapse of the security system in europe, based on euro-atlantic patterns. the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of belarus invited russian colleague to minsk for the conference on eurasian security, which will take place in the fall. based on the results of negotiations between the leaders.

africa denmark is on trend, there are large markets there, there is a great need for updating technology, mastering new approaches to land cultivation and medical equipment. the future lies with the african continent as a rapidly growing region and a driver of the global economy. belarus is actively working with egypt, zimbabwe, equatorial guinea, and is ready to expand the list of partners. yes, welcome to visit the prime minister of the kingdom of eswatini visited minsk for the first time. a country. borders south africa

and mozambique, population 1,350,000, this is even less than in minsk, but for us there are no big or small partners, the main thing is mutual interest and desire to cooperate. we can offer, on the one hand, that on the surface, we can offer our excellent agricultural machinery and equipment for the needs of the agricultural sector, but i would see opportunities here more broadly, we are not only talking about the supply of equipment, we must, we must go in, we must work and offer comprehensive solutions related to... transfer, technology transfer, related to the transfer of our experience in cultivating certain crops in crop or livestock production, training issues, that is, we have an excellent base, plus we have a scientific school, yes, on the basis of the academy of sciences, it is clear that this will not happen immediately, it is clear that this will not happen overnight, but these are our strengths, and we need to use and offer these strengths, help the development of the continent, belarusian strategy, western transnational companies, while enriching themselves

, absolutely did not invest money in the development of africa, so many agricultural regions to this day do not have good modern equipment, this was the case with zimbabwe, which last year for the first time in half a century fully provided itself with a grain harvest, thanks to belarusian partners we helped to update technology, and this was also discussed with the guest from the kingdom. i would like to greet you on behalf of the king of our state, he is very interested in good...

we see a high level here industrialization of agriculture, we want to receive your experience so that we can use it on our land. we hope for fruitful cooperation and its development. i also see how happy and excited people are here. the city is so densely populated, has excellent infrastructure, a clean city, so we look not only at the economy, but in general at the culture and way of life of the people. increasing the export of equipment to the african continent is a strategy. the iminsk tractor plant is actively working on new contracts. deliveries to sudan have already been established and egypt. the cameroon market opened this year. there are plans to explore ganna, kenya, and nigeria is in the works. in general, belarusian tractors have been exported to 20 african countries in recent years. the kingdom of eswatine also showed interest in technology. the african delegation got acquainted with the wide range of products right at the enterprise. svatina will be one of those countries where we will move further as part of the development of cooperation. and taking into account the tasks of the instructions, i think that this is a market that will be more promising given the fact that it is developing very strongly.

and the agricultural sector is probably the key one. in general, we will probably develop production in those countries where there are large global markets. probably, it will probably be nigeria, perhaps it will be minimally zimbabwe, in particular now. its operation. mtz offers african partners not only complex supplies of agricultural equipment, but also full service support for the time being, not only passenger equipment, but also joint development in medicine and glass production. representatives of the ministry of economy of belarus, small, medium-sized businesses, diplomats, and heads of domestic enterprises visited the vladimir region and studied the prospects for union cooperation. will it be possible to increase trade turnover to half a billion dollars by the end of the year? nothing is impossible, everything is within our power, experts are sure. vladimir is one of the ancient cities of russia, with 230 historical buildings, many of which are included in the unesco world heritage list. and this is part of the golden ring of russia, but it is not

only a tourist center, but also a powerful industrial center. there are dozens here large enterprises, from mechanical engineering to chemical and light industry. in terms of volume of trade turnover with the vladimir region, belarus ranks. first place among the cis countries, fifth among more than 100 partner countries of this russian region. last year , trade turnover amounted to just over 400 million dollars, and by the end of this year it plans to increase it to half a billion. key belarusian brands are represented in the vladimir region. these are products of such industrial enterprises as the belarusian metallurgical plant and the minsk motor plant. cooperation projects with maz are being discussed, but completely new, even unique ones have appeared. the direction of cooperation is glass production and pharmaceuticals, that in the region there is a world-class company, this is ginerium, three belarusian partners have been selected, who are now working on cooperation opportunities in various areas, including the creation of a joint venture here on

the territory of great stone, there are still there are a lot of areas in which colleagues from belarus will look at application points, this is kovrov, murom, kirzhach, we have potential there. interesting joint projects, today we agreed on the interaction of our special economic zones and special free economic zones in belarus in gomel, minsk and so on. another new area is cooperation in the production of passenger equipment. in the vladimir region there is a plant where trolleybuses, buses, and electric buses are created by robots. the plant produces 1,500 buses per year. we are ready to cooperate with our belarusian colleagues. we invite you, please, maybe belarus participation. in the creation of automotive components , including buses, electric buses, trolleybuses, this plant should be built in the 24th, 25th, sixth year, so please, we are ready for cooperation, also today

the year has set the highest bar, in fact, if we take trade turnover as such a general indicator, then in money terms this is an increase of one and a half times. in physical volumes this is growth by 140%. and it would seem, how to grow to such a high bar? well, the first months of this year show that this is possible; in fact, there is still a huge amount of reserves. in the first 5 months we have + 7%, plus 1 billion more to those high figures of last year, if we look at the product positions, well , due to what we added, it is also a very interesting, one might say motley picture.

butter last year they asked me why we are sagging, that russians have begun to eat less, maybe switch to

other types of butter, russian housewives no, everything has been restored, this year the position is again growing very seriously, well, let ’s say, a political commodity, eggs, which steadily entered the top 75 last year, are again showing good growth this year, tomorrow at the last meeting.

this includes kitchen furniture, upholstered furniture, sofas, and pinsk drev works very well, our only manufacturer who can generally be used as an example, who continues to actively develop its branded trade network in russian cities, and we are now asking pensk residents to use their squares - as part of their branded trade , they also added products from our light industry, tablecloths, napkins, bed linen, this is also in enormous demand... such a well-defined complex product, ala ikea in miniature, was also offered, so

we are pleased with the furniture makers, considering, well, such high diversification across sectors of the economy, it is difficult to say that someone is now sagging or does not want to work in the russian market, everyone feels the moment, everyone understands the moment, so well, the task is to look partners virtually on a daily basis, yes , you said that the moment that today... needs to be taken advantage of, and time has probably set the task for minsk and moscow to carry out , under the conditions of sanctions, a coordinated policy on import substitution, a unified industrial policy being built, these are these projects , in which we have succeeded together and allied machine tools, our famous minins, developments in the space industry, it may already be possible to mark them with the allied union marking as a product of the union state. in confirmation of your in words, for the last two years we have had

very stable gdp growth in russia and belarus. gdp is also an integral indicator, which actually shows how stable the economy is from the point of view of domestic consumption production, from the point of view of the investment channel, from the point of view of the balance of foreign trade. here we are in our third year, in addition to mutual growth in absolute numbers. trade balance is balanced, it is zero, there is no imbalance, as it was before in favor of russia, there is no imbalance in favor of belarus, it is simply zero, that is, well that's how stable it is.

in aircraft manufacturing, now examples in shipbuilding have already begun to appear, this is well for the belarusian economy, this is actually a new industry that we are building, well , thanks to - with the help of russia, the leaders of our countries at one of the last meetings, setting the contours of union integration for the next three years, well, as if listening to the government , they stated that now the main task is...

well, we need to tighten up the belarusian economy, increase our gdp, this can be done through new industries, and import substitution is here a cool, good tool that has proven itself, this is, for example, the topic, 15 billion loans, 26 projects are now being implemented jointly within the framework of cooperation, this is a separate agreement on micro and radio electronics, this is a separate agreement on machine tool construction.

it has already become, by and large, a unique phenomenon, a unique place where business, government officials, and just ordinary people meet, because this component of ufa’s street of regions last year, as we call it, when ordinary residents managed to visit our pavilions, for example, belarusian, try the cuisine, watch folk crafts and just take part in some cultural events,

there will be flights and suburban connections, for example, we were in smolensk recently, this is our vitebsk-smolensk train, for example, orsha, it we are also restoring its service, among russian tourists, in addition to sanatoriums, this is in addition to medicine, this is a good, well-known, branded topic for belarus, of course, there is now a huge demand for event tourism, a huge number of such...

the whole trouble with the war today is not only that ukraine has limited sovereignty, the trouble is that europe today, in my opinion, has limited sovereignty. for us , the sco is an alternative platform, a global one, which will participate in the formation of a new world, a multipolar world. we need to finally put a barrier for the west to ensure their premium conditions. ended once and for all. the west is not going to end the fight for belarus, because we have strategic importance for to weaken russia, it will not work outwardly. this means that it is necessary from the inside, through the fifth column, which sat with the neighbors, and through these neighbors. sabotage, extremism, arson, internal political unrest. we must understand this clearly. we need peace here in the region, this is our life, so no one wants to

live in war. and even more so to be drawn directly into hostilities, why, for example, our president resisted in every possible way 33 happy summers, the favorite holiday gathers friends again, from july 9 to 15 will be held for the thirty-third time international arts festival slavic bazaar in vitebsk with popular songs, fiery dances, a bright show and the smiles of thousands of spectators, welcome to the infinity of art, look for details on the website in the official communities of the festival.
