Industrial enterprises of Belarus and Novosibirsk Oblast have many industrial cooperation projects. "BelAZ get spare parts from Novosibirsk. Plans are in place to organize a joint assembly production of agricultural machines. There is also a partnership in the field of city passenger vehicles," the press service said.
"Despite the considerable distance between Belarus and the Siberian Federal District, we closely work with Novosibirsk Oblast and Irkutsk Oblast. We are interested in promoting supplies to the Siberian Federal District of Russia," Ksenia Meleshko emphasized.
“There are always new topics, new priorities in the development of regions. Our meeting has even taken a little longer than it was planned, because we tried to go over all the points where the interaction could be strengthened,” he said.
Roman Golovchenko noted that the first quarter was optimistic in terms of trade between Belarus and Sverdlovsk Oblast. "The growth was 40% year-on-year. I think that the figure of $1 billion is quite reachable. The Innoprom exhibition will give impetus to this," the Belarusian head of government said.
