hello so, how many residents are already in the great stone today chinese. let's start with them and how many chinese-belarusian projects are already operating 50 residents from the people's republic of china currently registered one hundred e -resident families, who are currently already e, carrying out their e, activities, e designing their enterprises. 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 a landmark event in our country. those that happened on may 12, 2015 were visited by the 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 presidents, 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 during these incomplete 8 years of our development. uh, our projects are not only chinese have a residence permit, but there are joint projects, projects are jointly meant, chinese belarusian enterprises. first of all, i would note such a project for the production of an engine. this answers was, uh, with our uh minsk automobile plant, the corporation answers. a man for the production of engines for heavy-duty e-cars why the project is also 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 provide our machine-building complex

with these products now 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 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 such design tendencies there have been no 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 fits the minsk automobile factory. this is a minsk

plant. e wheel tractors are using this product. e, in the future, it may be used by our other large, so to speak, enterprises, selmash e, sunset, which i named and others that will to use exactly 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. here, in addition to 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 directions laying there high-tech innovation, that is, while coming into these directions, as a rule. 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 uh, investing here and releasing , including, for example, u microplates, which also became in demand, taking into account, well, certain destruction of logistical ties another one. 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 codes, 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 do they know theirs so to speak competencies and are willing 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 it changes often, or are there such pillars that the great stone adheres to and i want to say that the fight for investors is really a competitive tough fight in e territory, including the former soviet union, the eurasian space of eastern europe, and the e 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 to provide, the best practices of preferential regimes, while the president of our country. e in an interview chinese uh media, even uh said. well, we already have the best regime, and he is absolutely right , we are using 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 considered that for different projects on average up to 50% let's just 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 work in the mode of one station, which is what the investor means for us, uh, is a key partner to whom we provide all services all administrative procedures quickly transparently efficiently directly on the site, he does not even need to travel to the capital of our state , the city of minsk is enough to come to the great stone get 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 were built in less than a year from the moment 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 record breaking. short terms investor - it

also attracts. that is, we must create we create those conditions when the 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 are there additional stones this year, in which areas i would like to attract. well, taking into account, perhaps, in general, the current realities of import substitution, on which we are orienting our reality, the sector yes, of course, we are clearly aimed at not slowing down the pace that we are already gaining after the pandemic after all. eh, this one primarily due 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 residents at the beginning of this year, by the way, it is also a very good and interesting project from

belarus, china from russia and uh, also in different areas, and the russian project came in the field of laboratory diagnostics. this is a medical activity. e, thereby, engaging in those niches that are left. now let's say this 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 . development of the park, our national pavilion of the republic of belarus on electronic platforms people's republic of china, uh, 1.5 million dollars is already the first, so to speak, the total for a small 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 that needs to come from high-quality, again , inexpensive products that the republic of belarus has 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 power industry of our nuclear power plant . an enterprise has come to us, it will come up with import-substituting products. uh, for

release. e. hmm this is in the field of veterinary medicine in the field of products for agriculture. that 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 by new e residents from other countries, including countries of the world. well, as far as production goes. which ones are coming soon? will open can already something she endures. we are already building and completing construction. our heating equipment plant from the people's republic of china will be put into operation this year. oh, by the way, at the end last year, the belarusian enterprise of the whore was introduced to release glass for land transport with unique characteristics. believe me, 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 that was one of our major shareholders who will attract on its territory. uh, scientific production. uh, let's just say the projects that we met with the management yesterday and discussed ours. we are completing projects and by the way, and uh, we have the construction of a multifunctional complex. we do not stand aside from the development of our country, including the holding of various events, in particular belagro. we are already becoming a traditional exhibition, which we are holding and we will already have uh, uh, we are preparing and building for this event, so that the guests and the hotel complex will be comfortable. even a cinema. there will be a meeting room cafe. well, in general, complete, so to speak, infrastructure support for our projects that
