unofficial minsk moscow is usually spoken of exclusively as a union that has no equal, at least in the post-soviet space, greater than partners. especially colleagues tempochu like-minded people. or even brother allies. here, perhaps, is the exact wording that reflects the essence of the relationship of being together. whatever this or that agenda in the world or the continent concerns, all this a priori determines our political , economic and others, the binding allied relations of which were started back in 90 hundreds, and maybe a thousand support laws, and as a result of a single border, a customs zone, a free trade zone, a transport system, and so on, and equal rights for citizens of their labor, recreation, treatment, and education. you can easily get a job. it turns out that there is no help to set up a business or buy real estate in this reporting format about everything, you can’t tell any of the above, none of the citizens of other countries in belarus and russia have a basis for great allied work, the economy with all the consequences minsk moscow is actively trading billion

dollars figure of last year with a clear advantage this january, october ended at around 36 billion with a slight pace of 114% compared to 21 years, russia is our main trading partner, according to data for 9 months, almost 60% of our goods go there a year earlier and it was 5 months old. understandable sanctions pressure. it only spurs mutual trade, but not only industry. the russian agenda is filled with requests for the production of foreign analogues, what can already be bought from us there, and something can be produced on belarusian sites for the purposes of import substitution. russia recently allocated 105 billion russian rubles, both sides confirmed their readiness to start financing 12 new projects. russia is the largest investor for us, according to the results of the past year, it accounts for 43% of the total volume of foreign investments, and this year, all 50 and another indicative figure , more than 2,000 enterprises with russian capital operate in our country. it means that it is easy for business to develop in a union state, where there are

far fewer barriers than in any other country in the neighborhood, and there will be even fewer, according to at least such a plan for further integration work, in which the leading role is assigned to 28 union programs adopted at the highest level last year. the figure itself will tell you that this is a huge layer of relations between belarus and russia and a promising plan for real integration. it harmonizes tax and customs legislation. this adds transparency to imported products and unified approaches to agricultural industrial policy. belarusian enterprises get access to public procurement in russia and vice versa, the general payment system energy market. it will provide equal conditions in the work of the business of belarus to russia, and these are just some areas in the big allied work for implementation, which are allotted only 2 years, given the volumes, it will have to be accelerated, but there is no point in slowing down the pace. after all, further more the last meeting of leaders in minsk is unequivocal. he says that the integration agenda will be supplemented. and

the union state today is not just an image project, this is a matter of common survival in times of global confrontation pressure and sanctions, one can argue, how quickly minsk, moscow, everything that they agreed on will be able to realize, indisputably, one horror. today it is an alliance to be reckoned with. you must admit that the development of belarusian russian relations is impressive in general, but the fundamental condition for further deepening the interaction between belarus and russia has always been the need to create equal conditions for all enterprises of people, capital, goods, both within the union state and within the eu, the head of state has repeatedly stressed the need for this, but before all we have to talk about is equal economic conditions. previously, they could not be called, well, i mean fully equal, including the cost of energy carriers for our

business entities. do you think that the summit meetings held in minsk bring us closer to absolute equalization of conditions for our economic entities. yes, indeed, the creation of not just some common markets, but single markets of the united so what is laid down in our allied programs. these are joint markets. electricity gas oil oil products, that is, this raw material component, which is an a part of each product yes, it is very important and we really strive for this goal of creating equal conditions, as we understand that there are agreements and, uh, we hope that the agreements relate. uh, gas prices. yes , what do we understand, that is, a message to business. yes, on the fact that it is really possible to plan strategically to plan economic conditions over there for some medium-term perspective. yes yes, for example, for 3 years, of course, not everything.

well, we can probably talk now, but it was said from the lips of the heads of state that an agreement was reached on the cost of energy resources, so to speak, in a broad sense, uh, it is incredibly beneficial for belarus , stable, uh, and 3 years. it is being reviewed for the worse and will not be. well, probably for our viewers in an open format. that 's all we can report for now, but i think that in the near future. all news will appear. well, here is olesya nikolaevna, belarus and russia e, signed an agreement on the transit of belarusian goods. and that's how you rate. uh, here is the reorientation of our export flows and transit e through the territory of the russian federation of your assessment. well , let's say, what concerns the reorientation of traffic flows. yes, it has been a really tough year. in the sense that the opportunity was closed for belarusian

carriers in the european union. and we managed to reorient the flow of goods to the eastern vector, and we can say that out of the 7 1/2 billion exports that we had on unfriendly country. yes, about six to six and a half billion managed to be transferred to the eastern vector, mainly to russia in relation to the signed agreements. indeed, what do these agreements give? first of all, it is the ability to predict the total volume of cargo flow. builds new logistics routes, but what else can i say that we can use the russian infrastructure, yes, that is, if we previously used four or five ports there, now we can use 19 ports of the russian federation accelerate the delivery of containerized cargo to chinese. well, and other other conditions earlier, many belarusian and russian industrial giants were forced to compete with each other. and now modern challenges

are pushing our economic entities, our industrial enterprises to deepen cooperation. here, what do you think they are and is it close to maz with kamaz in our single market of the union state, how is it? here you see the prospects for the joint promotion of manufacturing products on the market of third countries. so, on the example of maz and kamaz yes, if we compare our positions of two enterprises from different countries in the common market, then we can give a simple example. the truck market of the russian federation is estimated at about 80,000 units this year. kamaz produces about 40,000 units. er, next year maz has planned to produce 13,000 units, of which 8,000 will be exported to the russian market. and if we perform simple mathematical operations, then we understand that the remaining parts of the russian market alone are more than enough for the development of two companies at the same time. e after leaving e,

suppliers from unfriendly countries of similar equipment, these niches, but they do not remain empty and e, developing kamaz developing the masses in parallel with them , other suppliers of similar equipment aggressively enter this market, therefore a number of agreements have already been reached on the joint development of kamaz maz on unification. the cement base used by the two automakers is being worked on, mutual deliveries of certain components to the chamber of two enterprises, and today the global task, using the example of kamaz and maz again, is to create conditions in our joint market, limiting unjustified imports. technicians from other countries by, among other things, creating certain conditions for technical regulation. and this list is smeared with kamaz and is not limited to our production today in belarus, russia, e, you can rarely find such an example that they exceed the share of the joint

market, so there are quite a few growth points, i repeat the key point. uh, this closure of our market remains. here uh, unreasonably import. yes, this is not just our belarusian russian interaction. it's in including the influence of the external environment on us. i already used here. feeding the illegal sanctions of the collective west as a result. it 's not just uh, stopping some supplies is a ban on financial transactions. this is the departure of a number of manufacturers, uh, who were, in cases, leaders or the only founders of enterprises from the russian market from the belarusian market and in order to prevent this technological gap, to keep the production process continuous, uh, and us, uh, external partners. let's call them that yes, for now

partners. what was the name of the head of state? counter-partner uh, well, just pushed to interact more closely. and in the end, we either recreate or create on a new base. ours is precisely the center of competence. whether it is the production of mechanical engineering, whether it be microelectronics, or the development of nanotechnology, biotechnology. that is, we have a very wide range of belarusian science. by the way, in many areas, its russians were famous even in soviet times, there is a lot to learn, so here we see, this is, uh, the intersection of interests. e s the sole purpose of getting away from technological and other dependence on third countries. now i will not name anyone and develop my own, either software, or a

microelectronic base, and so on. large electronic. calculate the machines no one will remember, but we know that the ibm corporation is developing well. but we were competitors with them, now there are no competitors, so all these sanctions are illegal, but at the same time aimed at eliminating competitors in the person of belarus, yes, yes, either in the markets of their countries or in the markets of third countries where they come out with their products. it has to be said here. well, absolutely clearly and specifically, and we are doing this, sanctions are an economic instrument of political

influence on unwanted countries, which they actually do in relation to both the russian federation and the republic of belarus, believe the belt or the radio company is very he understands well that what we have just talked about , unfair personal sanctions have been imposed against us and against the company. we are very good. everything is fine. uh, we understand. therefore, in my opinion, they emphasized a very interesting thesis and the thesis is such that we are doing it by external influence, which is pushing us to deepen our cooperation with our russian partners. this is not for economic gain, first of all, but for the solution. well, the tasks of ensuring technological safety in order for us to actually continue existed, because, as alexander grigoryevich lukashenko said in the introductory part of the program, we are talking about the future fate of the belarusian russian people, we have

been purposefully destroyed for centuries and are trying to do this now, attempts have not been abandoned, of course, therefore we are talking about whether there will be a continuation of such a state how belarus will be such a state as russia will be, and it is the task of each of us to do everything in our place to ensure that it is one of the indicators of the level of cooperation between countries is the number of mutual visits at a high and top level. let's watch a short video on this topic. we have prepared to ask the directors to turn it on, please.

the leaders of russia and belarus meet together very often. my colleagues and i tried to count the number of visits of mutual visits at the highest level. we could not go astray. uh, that's why igor

vasilyevich tell me, you are like a professional diplomat. what this shows from a diplomatic point of view. we're actually, uh, moving on from quantity of quality, and we see the tangible results of this cooperation. e hmm this suggests that the degree of trust, the maximum degree of openness has increased due to the fact that there is an understanding about our top leaders and at the level of the president. you are prime ministers. we also see the intensification of regional cooperation, because they have, i mean russian regions , certain competencies of their own. it seems to decide without the consent of the federal center. and we allow them to solve these problems. uh. here in such a format. you raised the issue

of regional cooperation. so we know that this year the delegation of the belarusian government was in many russian regions and what areas of cooperation today are interesting to our russian partners, well, first of all, at the regional level, and how can one assess the activity of the regions themselves, both in belarus and for russia, first of all, of course, the issue of intensifying economic cooperation is put at the forefront in these visits. this is primarily the production of industrial products engineering. this is exactly mechanical engineering electronics optics. this is the production of agricultural products of biotechnology. these are medicines, veterinary drugs , plant protection products - this is just a red plus. uh. this is not possible without optimal e logistics without

cooperation in the field of e, the relevant supervisory authorities. this year alone, 14 inter, uh, governmental regional agreements have been signed by various departments of agriculture and health care, and in general, we have more than 14 intergovernmental for three hundred and we, uh, do not set ourselves the goal of more quantity. we prioritize quality. it should be noted that belarusian goods are known from leningrad to primorye and the brand made in belarus is the quality for which we help out . and our next material is just other regional cooperation, belarus russia let's see. low-floor orange maz buses

meet their first labor anniversary on the streets of kaliningrad with vigorous traffic 5 years ago, kaliningrad gortrans received 130 new cars from minsk the contract significantly refreshed the passenger transportation system. in the most western region of russia, 5 years have shown that if it is normal to properly service the bus. they don't cause problems. that is, uh, some global, uh, technical problems. we didn't have them. people tend to get on these buses, because the location is really comfortable, the ergonomics of the driver's seat is very convenient. both kaliningraders themselves and industry experts agreed that the choice in favor of belarusian products justified itself all seasons and in the summer it is very comfortable, because the air conditioner works. and off-season. here in our humid climate, that is, uh, the interior can be dried, a very good bus runs smoothly.

very good horses. ductora, kaliningrad one of our strategically important trade and economic partners today the trade turnover exceeds half a billion dollars we are interested in the potential of the port infrastructure with access to the baltic sea, the seafood themselves are belarusians, they are ready to design and build in the russian region and agribusiness facilities from the west are moving to far east primorsky krai of russia is a region where resources and nature are taken care of at a high level, the primorsky environmental operator is responsible for the collection and processing of municipal waste. for the past 3 years, the company has been choosing belarusian equipment for work. this is the equipment of the manufacturers of the maz mtz belkommun plants. mash and we have mainline garbage trucks. we use special equipment in the form of front loaders due to its unpretentiousness due to its
