\tLukashenko urges to restore trade with Arkhangelsk Oblast of Russia<\/p>\n

\"Lukashenko
\n <\/p>\n

MINSK, 24 August (BelTA) \u2013 It is important to restore the level of trade with Arkhangelsk Oblast, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Governor of Russia\u2019s Arkhangelsk Oblast Alexander Tsybulsky in Minsk on 24 August, BelTA has learned.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs far as cooperation is concerned, we must honestly admit that we have significantly lowered the bar in trade. But everything is within our power. We used to have roughly three times higher trade than we do now. We need to restore it and find appropriate ways to do so. We should not wait on the sidelines for someone to come and offer us solutions,\u201d the Belarusian leader said.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the prospects for economic cooperation, the head of state drew attention to the similarities between Arkhangelsk Oblast and Belarus: a significant portion of their territories are covered by forests. This necessitates certain types of work in logging and reforestation. In this regard, Belarus has preserved, since Soviet times, an entire sector dedicated to the manufacturing of specialized machinery and further developed it. This is handled by AMKODOR Holding Company. New domestic models are often sent to Russia for testing. \u201cIn this area, we can successfully cooperate with you,\u201d the Belarusian leader said.<\/p>\n

Another promising area for cooperation is the mining industry. For example, Belarusian BelAZ haul trucks are already used by Alrosa, a company engaged in exploration, extraction, processing, and sale of rough diamonds. \u201cToday, AI and robotics have made significant inroads across various sectors in every country. That\u2019s why we have supplied you with BelAZ robotic systems, which are also undergoing trials at your sites. I am confident they will prove themselves well, as we have already seen them in operation in Belarus,\u201d Aleksandr Lukashenko said.<\/p>\n

In addition, Belarusian passenger transport and elevator equipment traditionally enjoy strong demand in Russian regions. There is also potential for cooperation with Arkhangelsk Oblast in these areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cArkhangelsk is the northern region. It is not easy for you to work in agriculture and produce the necessary food. If we can be of any help to you in that regard, please don\u2019t hesitate. The best, most delicious, and highest-quality food (and this is widely recognized) comes from Belarus,\u201d the president emphasized.<\/p>\n

Among the possible areas for developing cooperation with the Russian region, the head of state also highlighted energy and the maintenance of life-support systems in populated areas. \u201cAll of this has been preserved since Soviet times, and we have it all,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

According to him, there are extensive opportunities for cooperation in education and science. \u201cIf Arkhangelsk Oblast is interested, we are ready to lend a hand. I believe our education system is the best in the post-Soviet space. This is because we have not abandoned the old experience, but rather built upon what we inherited. In the Soviet Union, the standard of education was exceptionally high. I doubt that anyone in the world has achieved such a level,\u201d the head of state noted.<\/p>\n

The president noted that through cooperation with the Russian side, Belarus is developing new sectors, such as aircraft manufacturing. Together, the two countries are also working in space as joint satellites have been launched into orbit. \u201cToday this is in high demand. The military operation has shown that Russia cannot do without it. We are doing a serious work on this front,\u201d Aleksandr Lukashenko said.<\/p>\n

Continuing on the topic of military-industrial cooperation, the president highlighted the significant achievements of the domestic defense industry, which have been made possible in part thanks to support from the Russian side. For Arkhangelsk Oblast, cooperation in the defense sector may not be as relevant, but if needed, Belarus is ready to provide assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Arctic zone today is an area where interests collide, and you will have to deal with it. If we can be of any use to you, we will always be ready to cooperate,\u201d the Belarusian leader emphasized. \u201cWe have learned to do a great deal on our own with Russia\u2019s help. We started together with the Russians. Today, we produce enough to meet the needs of our defense industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never hidden the cooperation between our military-industrial complex and your enterprises, the Defense Ministry. We cooperation in the past and will continue cooperating in the future. So take a look around to see whether some of our technologies may be of use to you,\u201d the president noted.<\/p>\n

Aleksandr Lukashenko assured that all agreements reached will certainly be fulfilled by the Belarusian side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lukashenko urges to restore trade with Arkhangelsk Oblast of Russia MINSK, 24 August (BelTA) \u2013 It is important…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5822,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[32,150,148,149,151,147,146,145],"class_list":["post-5821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-belarus","tag-belarus-culture","tag-belarus-politics","tag-belarus-society","tag-belarus-sport","tag-latest-events-of-belarus","tag-latest-news-of-belarus","tag-republic-of-belarus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/belarus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
