cooperation great stone, 107 residents are already registered here. as half of them with a chinese residence permit, how the site attracts investors not only from china, what has already been done, what ahead we will ask alexander yaroshenko , the head of the administration of the chinese belarusian industrial park, great stone alexander grigorievich hello so , how much of today is already in the great the stone of the residents is precisely chinese. let's start with them and how many already operating chinese belarusian projects fifty residents from the people's republic of china are currently registered out of one hundred and seven e residents who are currently uh, carrying out their uh activities, uh designing their enterprises. they are building, uh, building structures, in general , 71 buildings and structures have already been built in our project. if we start from the landmark, we have an event. those

that happened may 12, 2015 visit head of state of the republic of belarus alexander grigoryevich lukashenko and the chairman of the people's republic of china , comrades, today is the day of the pinning of our project, it was just a green platform on which it was planned and reported on how this project would develop. and now, by the way, seven residents of seven chinese residents have been registered with her. now dozens of chinese. and now 107, that is, 100 residents. this is also a good number. we managed to outgrow in these incomplete 8 years of its development. eh, our projects are not only chinese, but there are joint projects, projects jointly mean, chinese belarusian enterprises. first of all, i would note such a project for the production of an engine. this answers was, uh, with our minsk automobile plant the corporation answers. a man for

the production of engines for heavy-duty e-cars why the project is also significant and important for us uh, before uh, the minsk automobile plant purchased these engines in the russian federation, now we have the opportunity to actually to assemble these engines and provide our machine-building complex with these products now the russian federation buys from us. well, they have their own, by the way, also with a production corporation. and including, yes, we supply these engines to the eurasian space, that is, more than seventy percent is also exported from these products. in general, we have an export-oriented project itself. and as for another project, it was also for us, as a continuation in the field of the machine building complex. it's, uh, gearbox release. here, in general, the history is very unique for our industry for our economy, because

there have not been such trends in design developments in our economy even since the soviet union. and we bought all these products abroad and now, in fact , they are completely, an import-substituting product that allows and all large-sized vehicles that are produced, by the way, are not only suitable for the minsk automobile plant. this is a minsk plant. e wheel tractors are using this product. uh, in the long run, maybe are also used by our other large, so to speak, enterprises, selmash e for kt , who named others who will use the transmission already produced in the republic of belarus and, of course, for the economy of the republic of belarus from the point of view of future prospects. this is a very important project. that's besides mechanical engineering. what other areas are interesting for our partners to all partners who come to the site. we have deliberately identified a few. eh, let's put it this way. key areas laying there

high-tech innovation, that is, as coming in these directions, as a rule. uh, the investor brings there. ah, new developments. this is very important for us, and again this prospect of future development, including information and communication technologies, 13 enterprises and 13 projects are working in this area. and for us. this is a very good prospect and is supported, among other things, by our chinese manufacturers. and, by the way, not only belarusians and european investors are investing here, they are also producing, for example, e microplates, which also became in demand, taking into account, well, certain destruction of logistical ties. and one more. uh, another activity that really. we have given such a push, including the latest legislation is te medical activities, well, first of all,

related. unfortunately, with the code, we all faced this scourge. sorry for that expression. here and uh, of course, the demand for the production and medical devices, the provision of services of medicines . including against covid. again, we involve our chinese partners in their traditional chinese medicine. where are they gurus, where they know their capabilities, so to speak, of competence and are ready to share, including with us. such residents came there, so the interest is very huge in various areas. but first of all, i want to draw your attention to the fact that it is high technology innovation that attracts our investors to our project. it is clear that this is a special economic zone, so to speak. there are special conditions for residents here. let's remind you what it is and how flexible this legislation is, let's say often is changing or is there such pillars that the great stone adheres to hmm i want to say that the fight for investors is

really a competitive tough fight in this territory, including the former soviet union, the eurasian space of eastern europe yes, and the continent. it is quite so hmm complex saturated and if you do not keep pace with the times. you can fall behind in this work, so to speak, therefore, we try our best. e, updating its, so to speak , capabilities, including legislative provision, best practices preferential regime regimes, while the president of our country. e in an interview with chinese media u, even e said. well, we already have the best regime, and he is absolutely right , we use all the best practices that could be collected, but at the same time, here are four decrees of the head of state on the development of this project have already been adopted. that is, we do not try to update in a few years. our legislation, that is, do not stand still,

preferential and tax benefits, really allow our partners. and this expert opinion of our residents emphasizes the expert opinion, but they have calculated for different projects an average of up to 50% let's say cost reduction. uh, in the park, the great stone is another feature of our project. and this, by the way, is used by us. e. for the first time this is a one-station operation , which is what the investor means for us, er, is a key partner to whom we provide all services, all administrative procedures are quickly transparently efficient directly on the site, he does not even need great stones to travel to the capital of our state, the city of minsk, it is enough to come to the great stone to receive all the necessary services, including administrative ones, and build your project. as an example of successful implementation

, here are the factories that the machine builders that i spoke about, which we are proud of, they built in less than a year of this moment when the permit was received. we carry out this very quickly the design of land acquisition and the construction of the project itself in 8 months. the engine plant was built. i would say would be in a record. short terms investor - it also attracts. that is, we must create those conditions and we are creating them when an investor works very comfortably in the republic of belarus , taking into account this practice, forecasts, but nonetheless. that's how much the company would like to see. eh, or there are additional stones this year in which areas i would like to attract. considering perhaps, in general, the current realities of import substitution, to which we are oriented in our reality, the sector yes so as not to slow down the pace that we are already

gaining after the pandemic after all. uh, this situation is primarily related to the pandemic. she slowed down in a certain way. but we overcome last year. we have received 19 residents this year. we are planning to accept at least 20 residents of ours, also residents, at the beginning of this year, by the way , also a very good and interesting project from belarus, china from russia, and, also in different areas, the russian project came in the field of laboratory diagnostics. this is medical activity. e, thereby, engaging in those niches that are left. now let's say companies from unfriendly countries. unfortunately, this kind of thing happens. well, this is a window of opportunity, a window of opportunity for other investors from other countries, which we are fruitfully cooperating with. chinese partners come here in the field of e-commerce

logistics . park development our national pavilion of the republic of belarus on the electronic platforms of the people's republic of china, uh, 1.5 million dollars is already the first, so to speak, the result for a short 8 months. uh, already uh, products have been sold, but it is important not only to sell products, it is important to promote our country, its culture and customs are recognizable. and, accordingly, the economy, because the chinese market is a huge market. but this is a very tough competitive market, which needs to come from high-quality, again , inexpensive products, which are available in the republic of belarus and should be recognizable. e in china well, speaking of belarusian enterprises. i would like to point out first. we have a lot of projects. eh, we take with scientific developments. this year he came to our project. scientists who work in the field of nuclear

energy in cooperation with russian partners. for us. this is a very topical topic, taking into account the development of our nuclear energy, the energy sector of our nuclear power plant . an enterprise has come to us that will offer import-substituting products. e is for release. e hmm in the field of veterinary medicine in the field of products for agriculture. that is, we are trying. really. e, take the opportunity and develop in such a way that the window of opportunity that appeared e is filled with new projects here in the great stone park with new e residents from other countries, including countries of the world. well, what about the production itself? which of them will open in the near future? we are already building something and we are completing the construction of a heating equipment plant from the people's republic of china this year. that will be

commissioned. oh, by the way, at the end of last year, the belarusian enterprise kuva was introduced to produce glass for ground transport with unique characteristics. believe me. that's when we also showed and demonstrated. uh, all directions are extra durable with heating. that is, this is a very good export project, which, by the way , is oriented and import-substituting , including those producing products for ntz maz and our other enterprises. we're uh finishing construction. we have a sinomatch project was one of our major shareholders who will attract on its territory. uh, scientific production. uh, let's put it this way , the projects that we met with the management yesterday and discussed our prospects for being completed, by the way, and uh, the construction of a multifunctional complex here. we do not stand aside from the development of our country, including the implementation. various events, in particular belagro,

we already have an exhibition that we are holding and we will already have uh, uh for this event. we cook out of order and build to make guests comfortable and hotel complex. even a cinema hall there will be a meeting room cafe. well, in general , complete, so to speak, infrastructure support for our projects that are being implemented in the project. thank you for the questions the program answered alexandra yaroshenko head of administration of the chinese belarusian industrial park great stone next in the program of the event. a new air route for the possibility of visa-free entry to belarus and the grand final of the competition for innovative developments. we'll be back at the studio in a few minutes. this event program for belarus 24 we continue. decrease in the refinancing rate new version of the law on combating corruption expansion

of the flight map a number of changes for belarusians began to take effect with the beginning of spring , our observers svetlana chernova will tell everything in order from march 1 in our country the refinancing rate was reduced. it fell by half a percentage point and amounted to 11% per annum. this should lead to a reduction in the cost of some bank loans. the main condition for the rate cut is called a steady slowdown in inflation, also from march 1 to in belarus, a new version of the anti-corruption law came into force, for example, gifts to civil servants were limited to 20 basic ones , and a rule was added according to which officials would have to indicate information about their loans in the declaration along with the declaration. march is the last chance to declare income for the last year belarusians, who are obliged to read before the tax before the end of the month in march , expand the map of flights of the national air carrier. the new country will appear in the middle east since march 4th. belavia launches flights to the capital of kata a

the polish section of the border without visas was first introduced last year and was very popular, given the high demand for our visa-free entry from residents of lithuania, latvia and poland, the head of state extended it for the whole of 2023, given the restrictions on the operation of checkpoints introduced by the polish authorities at the border with belarus and the continuing high demand for belarusian visa-free travel , a decision was made to allow polish citizens to travel in a visa-free manner on the territory of belarus at all checkpoints on the border with the european union. now citizens. poland can leave for our country without a visa and in the baltic direction. they are also allowed to visit the border zone without a pass during the action without a visa for poles since july 1, 2022, more than 27,000 polish citizens arrived in belarus in minsk, they named the winners of the studio’s youth project for belarus. developments in 10 music sections.
