to resolve the issue of cronyism, look at the project 100 questions for adults on the belarus-24 tv channel. the great dialogue on security, a high-level international conference, brought together

political experts from thirty countries in minsk. expansion of the range and release of new pharmaceutical products; an investment project for the production of anticancer drugs is being implemented in belarus. attention to care for veterans in belarus, preparations for the anniversary of the victory have begun. the events program is on air. in the studio of veronica buta. hello. the belarusian capital has become a platform for high-level international dialogue on eurasian security. policy experts from different continents came to minsk. our columnist olesya vysotskaya followed the event. what are the main statements made? it is worth noting the representative composition of more than 30 countries, this is not only the eurasian space, but the eu countries, the countries of the middle east and asia, latin america, and the usa. the purpose of this large-scale forum is clear given what we see on the planet. in minsk, a frank, inclusive discussion about the prospects for the eurasian security, in conditions of crisis of the existing world order, as well as chronic military-political contradictions between. key players and the almost

complete lack of communication between them, and one of the solutions is regional cooperation in geopolitics. still hoping to achieve compromises, we proposed, referring to the experience of agreeing on the un charter, to begin a global dialogue on security in the spirit of san francisco, because it was at that conference that the states were able to put aside their differences and sit down at the negotiating table in the name of... common ideals and peaceful existence of nations. if the west is now not ready to talk about common security, but only about its own, then we proceed from the fact that such a time will come sooner or later. today no one has ready-made recipes for forming a model of eurasian security. but this is the task of the current conference, to propose, if not a concept, then at least elements, outlines of this model,

which could be used by politicians in the future. the huge pool of international experts gathered in minsk also agrees that security in the eurasian the region needs serious restructuring, literally brick by brick. this is the first such meeting in a long time at such a high level. international experts, ministers, and heads of organizations gathered. it is symbolic that such a conference is being held in minsk, because your country always advocates the construction of bridges. remember the minsk agreements in 2015, it took place here, the first negotiations last year also took place in belarus, so the events are a logical continuation of the belarusian commitment to peace and dialogue. we see, that the politics of the cold war is still ongoing, the western political model does not even welcome alternative alliances, but any form of interaction other than theirs.

between washington and european countries, moreover, in the united states and great britain, doubts are growing about the correctness of the chosen path in politics, but the trouble is that there is not enough discussion about this in society, no one is discussing these problems, and this is worrying. in turn , belarus proposes to convene a summit to discuss security architecture eurasian space, as well as develop a diversity charter for the 21st century. similar forum. level, another confirmation of belarus’ contribution to ensuring peace, and that the main thing is dialogue between countries. belarus soon expects to join the ranks of full members of the shanghai cooperation organization. meetings of the council of governments, the sco and the cis took place in bishkka. what are the results? as for the sco, it was stated on the sidelines of the summit that belarus will be a reliable partner for everyone. and our prime minister expressed confidence that the next a meeting of this level will be held with the participation of our republic in a new high status.

interest is growing all over the world, the expansion of geography confirms this, belarus calls for the participating countries to unite their efforts, this will accelerate the processes of building a fair multipolar world and form a new one. logic, will eliminate unnecessary barriers and create conditions for trade and investment. today is the best time for practical solutions. the belarusian side fully supports the speedy implementation of the road map signed in samarkand for the gradual increase shares of national currencies in mutual settlements. our country is ready to participate as much as possible in the work of the sco interbank association. only through joint efforts can we weaken it. spheres of economics and finance, reduce the negative effect of illegal sanctions and illegitimate restrictions. the sco today is a community of interests in military-economic security, it has proven its worth in the international arena, and it resolves issues of developing

transport and logistics routes. today we talked a lot about strengthening connectivity in the regions in the eurasian region, they talked about the north-south corridor, the west, they talked about development, of course, the shanghai cooperation organization always talks about security issues, increasing the level of security. according to the eu, the cis, belarus’ position to scale up successful and effective solutions, tested in the format of the eurasian union in the commonwealth space, will prepare a development strategy for the cis until the thirtieth year, it must be associated with eurasian priorities, the vector of development. connections in the region will be unified. despite the difficult situation on the external circuit, the year for the eurasian union is successful, and as confirmation, total trade for 8 months is more than 56 billion. growth of almost 10% , all of the eleven barriers have been removed, now

it is necessary to increase the self-sufficiency of the union, from its products, seeds to technology. mechanisms for financial support for joint projects have been approved, there are indeed conditions for receiving money, but they are participants in this project must be from at least three countries, the amount of support for one project is no more than 350 million russian rubles, financing of such subsidies will be in russian rubles. in the cis there is mutual trade, investments are growing, the task is to replace critical imports, cooperate and pay more in their own currencies. we are also waiting for simplification of registration, uniform technical regulations and access to government procurement. to achieve a free trade agreement in services, it took almost 10 years to reach it. belarus continues to strengthen its partnership with russian regions, new projects have been discussed with the vologda and orenburg regions, we are waiting for details. agreements on trade, economic, scientific, technical and

socio-cultural cooperation were signed between belarus and the vologda region; from specific contracts, mtz and the cherepovets foundry and mechanical plant agreed on the supply of tractor kits for the twenty-fourth year, plus a number of agreements on the region. we talked about creating several areas, the main directions of our work, this is agriculture, this is deep forest processing, this is mechanical engineering, this is strengthening interaction with the largest flagships on the part of belarus and on the part of the russian federation, such as seversal, phosagro, ankador, mtz, mas and many, many projects that we formally recorded today, on which we will work out issues of strengthening business cooperation, tourist and cultural exchanges. the vologda region is still in thirteenth place in terms of trade turnover with belarus among russian regions, but in the meantime belarus is in the top three among the partners of the orenburg region. mutual trade is growing, today there are more than 130 enterprises supply products to our

market, which is important, their number has almost doubled in the last year alone, the production of elevators, the supply of mineral fertilizers, the design of dairy farms, that ’s all. a serious topic - this cooperation in areas is now being worked on more actively in terms of purchasing mineral fertilizers, this is relevant for both belarus and orenburg, and we will also continue cooperation, we found a number of issues, today we expanded on when we bought fertilizers from you through intermediaries, today we will do this directly. in turn, belarus actively supplies agricultural machinery to this market. there are approximately 16,000 tractors in the region, more than half of them are mtz. more technology. in orenburbur will supply gomselsh. next year it is planned to export at least a hundred cars. a new investment project for the production of antitumor drugs is being implemented in belarus. where will the site be located and what new items can we expect? the institute of bioorganic chemistry npts is an excellent platform for this. the creation

of a new production will allow us to expand the range of manufactured pharmaceutical products, as well as learn new things. the launch is planned in 2020; advanced technologies will allow the center to produce the most modern... drugs for the treatment of cancer . this year alone , two new drugs were registered for the treatment of tumors, liver, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract, and a number of other pharmaceutical products are in development. this will be a new production site with new equipment and new technologies, where we plan to produce cutting-edge drugs based on monoclonal antibodies. these are complex protein molecules that require a special approach, but they are very effective, if, as a rule, even modern targeted drugs act mainly on tumor cells, but at the same time they affect and... then these are specifically attached to tumor cells in

a directed manner they are suppressed. today khimfarsin produces dozens of drugs. over 10 years, the company has received 47 registration certificates for medicines in belarus, russia, kazakhstan, and uzbekistan. thank you, the review was prepared by olesya vysotskaya. more news from the economic sphere not only on the website of our tv channel www.belarus24.bi. the belarusian investment forum will be held in november in moscow. the event will bring together owners and top managers of foreign businesses, subject matter experts, representatives of the public sector, and free special economic zones. what projects will be presented at the forum, as well as about the investment attractiveness of belarus and measures to support investors, we will ask the director of the national agency for investment and privatization dmitry krosovsky. hello dmitry. hello veronica. in various forums. belarus participates on a regular basis, for what, what do we get from

this, to show ourselves, or still earn extra money? well , let’s start with the fact that 99% of agreements in the field of investment are concluded outside the public space, sometimes this is so closed the process that they even sign a special non-disclosure agreement is absolutely correct, and professionals who are involved in the investment process come to the forum: for in order to present the results of their work over the period since the previous forum, show, look at the results of their colleagues, exchange experiences, discuss trends, regarding agreements, of course, agreements are signed, i cannot say that this is the result of the forum, i would say this is rather the culmination of the forum and this is the result of the hard work of many , many people during the preparation for the forum this year... we will sign at the next forum that we will have, we plan to sign as an agreement for private commercial projects,

so the agreement on social projects, it is expected that a very important interstate agreement will be signed, which is designed to simplify the movement of capital, the entry of belarusian companies into the russian capital market. i won’t ask you more specific questions here, i know that people who work with money are a little superstitious, but if in general... look more broadly at what we will present, you’re right, veronica , money loves silence, that’s what people say , this is true for investments, for the first time, generally in our forum, which will to take place in moscow, the words can be used several times at once, firstly, for the first time we are holding it in the russian federation, so it turned out that russia is the number one country for us, an investor, but we held forums from new york to hong kong. we are going to moscow for the first time, for the first time, we will

, together with our partner belagroprom bank, present in moscow the topic of venture investments, investments in belarusian startups. 20 startups from belarus will come to moscow to not only compete for the uh prize, the main prize these are grants from belaagrombank, but also to present your startups to a moscow venture. community, it is quite powerful and we understand that this is a very good chance for belarusian startups to expand the circle of investors. for the first time, we will touch upon a topic on such a large scale, the topic of public private partnership, and the discussion will be conducted by representatives of government authorities who are interested, local authorities who are interested in such projects, and potential investors, funds that specialize in this topic in russian federations, this mechanism is very developed and there are investors who already specialize exclusively in ppp projects, we will talk

with those subjects of the russian federation who have successfully implemented this, they will share their experience, including mistakes, which is no less important, and we count on that this will give additional impetus to the development of public private partnerships in belarus. now, if you look at the sectors of the economy, which areas for investment are the most promising today, in the context of our country, yeah, in our opinion. according to recent experience, the top 3 looks like this, this is food industrial agriculture, i would unite this under the general slogan of food security, uh, second place, perhaps, is pharmaceuticals, well, third place is mining, investments, that’s everything related to this , although perhaps over the last half-year it has been supplanted by logistics and trade, so if you say , our startups will be represented, if you look in the context of startup areas, these are also the

same industries, or are there guys still there think a little differently? well, now we were talking about classic investments, startups, of course, are always a high-tech business, uh , different industries, we will introduce what is called fintech, that is, technology in the field of finance, and now very relevant technologies are modern in the field of healthcare, and there are startups related to social projects, family development, uh, very interesting ideas embedded in these startups. well, all that unites them is that each startup has some potential for such global scaling, that is, a potential, well, what is called a unicorn in the language of venture investors. you say, russia is now number one in terms of quantity, investments, and also as a trading partner, today russia is number one, but if you look at the investment basket,

who else is putting money into the development of our country, or is it only russia that is increasingly involved in this? ... turbulent times, we don’t work with anyone else, well, of course, russia takes up more than half of our investments, this share has been growing recently. and in second place cyprus. uh, we joked recently when we were preparing for the cis countries forum on investments, which means we had to calculate how much investment the cis countries are making in belarus, and my colleagues and i ironically said that cyprus is also a cis country, well , who, who, those who are close to the world of money know what we're talking about, uh. of the latest trends, we are pleased that the united arab emirates are in the top five, and the overall investment potential of the countries of the middle east and north africa, i would take it that the global arab world is very high, very underutilized for belarus and this is a good sign that the arab emirates are already in the top five, we think that they

are like the leaders of the middle east, in terms of global investments, other countries will follow them. i would also like to mention a country like pakistan , which was a great discovery for us in 2022. this year we already have two registrations of companies from pakistan , it was a little unexpected, although who knows well, the east understands that a country with 200 million people for a minute is in one and a half times more than russia, this is, in principle, a very very high level for investment, albeit the economy is still at the income level below average , but in a large country there are more rich people, according to statistics, the growth of investments in belarus last year was 137 times, if you look at investment projects in general, which of them are the most successful, the largest, the most profitable, something to be proud of, well, in the context of russian

investments, i would start with the omsk project, this is a large production enterprise. in the city of magilevo, an enterprise producing a very important product for belarus, technical carbon, which our giant consumes belshina. in general, this project can be called a standard import substitution project, it covered a certain need for imports that we have today and brought the country technologies that we did not have, well, in second place, let’s remember the belarusian-chinese project, maybe this not the most recent project, but it’s probably all the more valuable to sum it up, because today we see the result, who could have thought 10 years ago that in every yard there would be a belarusian-made car, made by belarusians, and people choose it not because there is no choice, but because this is the best choice, we really got advanced technologies in mechanical engineering, an advanced

product in mechanical engineering, automobile construction in the passenger car industry, and this is great, and the project, i would call it a model in all respects, is an export -oriented project , because the automotive industry within the belarusian market simply does not have economic feasibility, this is a project, again, that brought technology here, this is a project with belarusian participation, that is, there half of the capital is the belarusian enterprise belas, accordingly , even half of the non-reinvested profit will remain in belarus from this project, and often rarely, so to speak, this is... called an investment project, but i would emphasize that this is an investment project , a project to create, together with the people's republic of china, the great stone industrial park, this is truly global. a project whose potential will be revealed not even in years, but decades. today in the global market as a whole,

a very serious race for investors has unfolded, you must agree, it’s very great that they choose us, but thanks to what, in this race, each country offers some goodies, these are the preferences we are ready to offer investors today, what we beat with, what we beat with, yeah, in belarus. and we counted nine preferential regimes, we recently did such a review at the request of minamika, such a brochure, where all the preferences are in one book, the investor needs to choose one, or here is a package, the investor can choose several, well there are nuances, as they say, there are uh, i’ll just say that this book is 40 pages long, it’s really difficult to recount all the prefixes, the investor probably doesn’t need to do this, the investor mm - when we present these prefixes to the investor, we usually do emphasis on who usually chooses which prefregime? well, for example, the regime of sezas,

free economic zones, is attractive for exporters, because if you are an exporter, you can take advantage of the maximum number of benefits from this regime. for those, who invests in real estate, for example, an investment agreement is very interesting, because an investment agreement represents maximum benefits at the investment stage, and these... this is a big big share for real estate investors, who means engaged in agricultural production , food industry, light industry and cannot enter, for example , a free economic zone, they can take advantage of the regimes of small towns and rural areas, we have such a unique, interesting specialized regime for logistics and transport companies, trading companies, this is the regime of burdensome orsha, recently created, a park of high... everyone knows well, these are those who are engaged not only in the production of soviet equipment, but also in investments in the production

of equipment, which means what is called iron, and preferential treatment of the great stone, of course, this is a kind of tip of the iceberg, this is the top of our preferences today, but not everyone can get there, because there is a certain prioritization of industries, a dirty project will not be allowed there, uh, environmentally, those that do not meet high standards, a low-tech project will not be allowed there, but if this project is suitable, then of course, the level of benefits and not only benefits, but also the provision of infrastructure is unprecedented for our region, but more recently you have essentially become as a guide to this area of ​​investment in general, having launched your educational project, what are the nuances here, who can become participants in this project? yes, it would seem,

what does education have to do with an investment attraction agency, well, there’s logic here it’s simple, when we work with investors, with investment projects, especially in the regions, we are faced with the fact that a good project requires good elaboration, good preparation, such projects attract investors, and this requires competencies, high-level competencies in order to speak with investors one language, prepared investors, experienced investors , investors already investing in many countries, and here we understand that here is a business, with a training project in the field of business education, we can solve this problem, thereby solving our task, to increase the attractiveness of the country, you know, we have set this task for ourselves to make training as practical as possible.

well, for example, i will say that at the end of the training, we not only prepare the student, not just prepare a diploma, it must be a ready-made business plan for a project, an investment project, which can be immediately after graduation, taken to the bank and received a loan for the investment project. thank you very much, the questions of the program were answered by the national investment agency and privatization dmitry krosovsky. further on the event program is preparation for the eightieth anniversary of the great victory, the construction of a memorial complex in the mogilev region and the intangible cultural heritage of belarus. we'll be back at the studio in a few minutes. this is the events program for belarus 24 and we continue. preparations for the eightieth anniversary of the great victory have begun in belarus. special attention. considered at the first meeting of the organizing committee to prepare for the celebration of the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of belarus and

the great victory. patriotic war. today there are already less than 9,000 people living in our country who suffered from the consequences of the war, including only 1,343 direct participants. every year they receive financial assistance for the holiday; payments are already being discussed today for the twenty-fourth anniversary of the 25th anniversary. of course, moral support is also important, as well as awareness by every belarusian of the importance of these holidays. young people should also feel involved in the great history of the country. helping veterans will be launched across the country. it starts in january. from the action with all my heart. now every point the plan is discussed with local authorities and representatives of public associations. and our youth must become active participants. we understand this age category very well; we citizens in the state , of course, need to create conditions as much as possible, to cover these elderly people with care and attention; they need, of course, material and everyday solutions to some issues that

they cannot solve on their own due to their age. therefore , to reach everyone, to help everyone decide, for someone to repair the stove, for someone, roof, for some people it’s easy to clean up the courtyard area; the plan for preparation and holding of events will be considered in detail at subsequent meetings of the organizing committee, including their elaboration on the ground, because the events will take place in all regions of the country. a memorial complex dedicated to the events on the pronya river during the great patriotic war is being built in the mogilev region. where will it be located? vikru and local residents. thanks to their efforts, a memorial sign was installed here earlier. later, a decision was made to create an entire complex. its center will be the figure of a soldier on the pedestal and memory field. starting from october 2, 1943 to april 1944, the western front in the varshansky, dubrovensky, goritsky, chaussky, slavgorod regions lost 300. 30,000

soldiers and commanders of the red army killed, wounded, missing, this is a very large figure, even for the front. the chavovo district is a continuous memorial; we have 99 mass graves and memorial signs. and today we are making the hundredth monument here, which should be installed here this year. we do all work at the expense funds of our organizations, enterprises and people who live here. according to the architects' ideas, the monument will be decorated with an inscription of gratitude from descendants to the soldiers and commanders who fought on the pronya river in 43-4 . an exhibition in the national library of belarus introduces the intangible cultural heritage of our country. what's on display? 25 stands present folk traditions and customs, original rituals and ceremonies of belarus. among them are the carols of the kings and the yuriev round dance, the butslovsky fest, the culture of beekeeping and straw weaving. the exhibition is dedicated to

twentieth anniversary. on the protection of intangible cultural heritage. the presentation of the exhibition is supplemented by publications from the collections of the national library, about 100 publications in total. among them are books devoted to various issues of preserving the intangible cultural heritage of belarus’ participation in unesco programs and projects on this topic. as part of the implementation of the convention in the republic of belarus , a huge amount of work has already been done and will continue, i am sure, to preserve the intangible cultural heritage. and today already. 178 elements of intangible cultural heritage of our country are included in the list of historical and cultural values ​​of the republic of belarus. the exhibition project was prepared by the republican center of national cultures with the support of the ministry of culture. the exhibition will run until november 23, and it is expected that the exhibition will continue to operate in the regions. belarus continues to develop sports infrastructure. what new object has appeared in gomel? a specialized hall

for sculpture classes was opened here. the project was implemented with the support of the ministry of communications and informatization. all conditions have been created for comfortable training and high-quality preparation of future olympic champions: several tracks for training, locker rooms, premises for coaches and household purposes. for the development of the gomel regional olympic reserve center for applied sports, the national olympic committee donated a certificate for 15,000 rubles. with the improvement of the material and technical base , a new round of development of the fencing tradition in the gomel region begins. i'm studying. about 3-4 years, i really like it here, this hall is very comfortable, in that hall there were only three tracks where you could perform feats, but here there are already six tracks, the conditions necessary for the high-quality training of athletes, especially for the sports reserve for transferring them to the highest level, to the republican schools of the olympic reserve, to the republican olympic training center, to the national team, so here i think it will be very good...
