(Reuters) - Belarus has appointed a new ambassador to Russia, state news agencies reported on Friday, as Moscow and Minsk continue to forge closer tie.
In his words, Belarus will pay close attention to cooperation with Kaliningrad Oblast. Belarus intends to increase export to Russia by a third this year and may increase export to Kaliningrad even more than that, the ambassador noted.
Vladimir Semashko reminded that Russia is now trying to resolve serious problems in the automobile industry. The withdrawal of Western companies from the Russian market has slowed down the production of cars and trucks in Russia due to the poor localization of manufacturing of vehicle parts.
