More than 60 contracts for a record 65 million rubles is one of the results of the forum of the regions of Russia and Belarus. We are talking about increasing the production of our own products instead of imported ones in engineering, agriculture, and high technologies. At the finish line of the cancellation of voice roaming. The benefits of such projects are direct and understandable, narrowly targeted by Vladimir Putin in his video address to the content of the forum.

V. Putin: Unprecedented political and sanctions pressure from the so-called “collective West” is pushing us to get involved in joint processes. After the report, it will be easier to receive losses from the adoption of illegal working capital, it is easy to master the demanded output products, develop new professional skills and expand cooperation with foreign countries. In this position, the launch of promising programs related to industrial and technological renewal is considered as a priority joint task. Russia is also ready to receive large Belarusian investment projects in connection with the emergence of new ones and the expansion of production in the republic and in our country.

Continuing these thoughts, Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko noted that Moscow and Minsk are reconfiguring the request chains for requests interrupted by sanctions.

V. Matvienko: The Russian Federation is currently providing indirect assistance to Belarus to form logistics routes for the export of Belarusian goods. Already in the active stage of the decision to build a port in Ust-Luga for the transportation of Belarusian fertilizers and other goods. I probably know that the Republic of Dagestan and the Astrakhan region are exploring opportunities to ensure the transit transportation of Belarusian goods through their seaports to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
