The meeting also touched upon economic cooperation where the manufacturing sector with a focus on science-intensive technologies plays the central role. Aleksandr Lukashenko referred to aircraft manufacturing as the most important aspect of technological progress, the assimilation of the latest scientific accomplishments into production.
The leaders of Belarus and Russia discussed this topic last week. Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “We've agreed to work on the joint production of aircraft for regional transportation. We have the relevant competences for it. I would like to learn what opportunities you see.”
“It is a future-oriented project that will span years. Investments will be massive but the positive effect will be colossal, too,” the president emphasized. He remarked that Belarusian enterprises already make individual components for aircraft manufacturing. He mentioned they are ready to expand the choice of these parts.
