“We meet regularly, which suggests that there is a mutual interest in cooperating and implementing bilateral agreements. The main thing is to make sure that these agreements benefit both sides. An optimal solution has been found for the supply of sodium carbonate from Bashkortostan to Belarus. This is a win-win solution for Bashkortostan producers and Belarusian consumers,” said Roman Golovchenko.
According to him, the Bashkortostan delegation has a very large, extensive program of the visit. “You will see not only what our capital city is living and breathing, but also how the Belarusian regions are developing. This is a good opportunity to learn more about our best practices and share your expertise and knowledge,” he said.

A project to launch production of grain drying complexes is being successfully implemented. And, of course, we are actively preparing for a very important event the Forum of Regions that will be held in Ufa this year. It is necessary to approach the forum with appreciable results that can be presented to the heads of state, too,” Roman Golovchenko emphasized.
According to the prime minister, in January-November 2022 the trade between Belarus and this Russian region expanded by more than 10%.
