carrying out their uh, activities. uh, designs his businesses. they're building. eh, the building of the structure, in general , 71 buildings and structures have already been built in our project, if we start from our landmark events. which happened on may 12, 2015, the visit of the head of the state of the republic belarus alexander grigoryevich lukashenko and the chairman of the people's republic of china, comrades, today is the day we pinned 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. now 50 chinese. and now 107, that is, 100 residents. this is also a good number. we managed to outgrow during these incomplete 8 years of our development. uh, our projects are not only chinese, they have a residence permit,

but there are joint projects, joint projects mean chinese belarusian enterprises. first of all, i would note such a project for the production of an engine. it was tea. uh, with our, uh, minsk automobile plant , the corporation is responsible. so for the production of engines for heavy-duty vehicles, why is the project, including a landmark 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 assemble these engines and to provide our machine-building complex of these products now the russian federation buys from us. well, they also have their own , by the way, also with a production corporation , including yes, we supply these engines to the eurasian space, that is, more than 70%, also goes from these products for export. 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 been no such design developments in our economy even since the times of the soviet union. and we bought all these products abroad and now, in fact, it is completely for them, an import-substituting product that allows, again, all large-sized transport that is produced , by the way, not only suitable for the minsk automobile plant. this is the minsk plant. e wheel tractors are using this product. e, in the future, perhaps used by our other e large, so to speak, enterprises and homoselmash. eh, sunset, which was also called by others who will use exactly the transmission already produced in the republic of belarus and, of course, for the economy of the republic of

belarus in terms of future prospects. this is a very important project. here, in addition to mechanical engineering. what other areas are interesting for our partners to all partners who come to the site. we deliberately singled out a few, let's say so. food areas laying there high- tech innovation, that is, while coming into these areas are usually uh, the investor brings there. ah, new developments. for us , this is very important and, again, this is a prospect for 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 and investing here, including, for example, microboards, which have also become

in demand, taking into account, well, certain destruction of logistical ties. and one more. uh, another activity that really. we gave such an impetus, including the latest legislation, this development. all medical activities, well firstly connected. unfortunately with code. we have 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, quid, 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. here, created special conditions for residents. 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 but the struggle 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 their, so to speak , capabilities, including legislative ones , provide best practices preferential regime regimes, while the president of our country. e in an interview with chinese media 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. precisely, we, uh, not in a few years, we try to update. 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 calculated it for different projects on average up to 50%, let's say a decrease. costs. 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, quickly , transparently, efficiently directly on

the site. great stone. he doesn't even need to travel to the capital of our state in 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, the successful implementation of these plants, which are the machine builders that i spoke about, which we are proud of, they were built in less than a year from the moment of obtaining permits, we carry out this very quickly, the design of land acquisition and the construction of the project itself, 8 months. the engine plant was built. well i would i would say 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, i know that you are not very fond of forecasts, but nevertheless. that's how many companies i'd like to see. eh, the great stone additionally this year in

what areas i would like to attract. well, taking into account, perhaps, in general, the current realities of imports, the substitution to which we are oriented in our reality 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 our already seven 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 various areas, the russian project came in the field of laboratory diagnostics. this is medical activity. e, thus, occupying those niches that are left. let's just say companies from non-friendly countries.

unfortunately, such a story happens, but this is a window of opportunity a window of opportunity for other investors from other countries, which we fruitfully cooperate chinese partners come here in the field of e-commerce logistics restore supply chains that are seriously under the blesna, let 's say the transformation is not for the better, we opened with the help of our resident company for the development of the park, 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 total for a short 8 months. uh, products have already 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 in the republic

belarus is, it 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 teaching is a topical issue, taking into account the development of our nuclear energy, the energy sector of our nuclear power plant , an enterprise has come to us, it will come up with import-substituting products. e, aims to release 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 here in the great stone park with new projects by new e residents

from other countries, including countries of the world. well, what about the production itself? which of them will open soon, you can already repair something. we are already building and finishing construction. we have a factory heating equipment from the people's republic of china this year will be put into operation. 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 demonstrated. uh, all directions are extra durable with heating. that is, it is a very good export project. so, by the way, oriented and import-substituting , including those producing products for mtz maz and our other enterprises. we uh complete construction. we have a project, xenomach was one of our major shareholders who will attract on its territory. uh, scientific production. uh, let's just say
