Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Piotr Parkhomchik suggested setting up a railway casting production factory in Belarus as he met with Head of Russia's Chuvash Republic Oleg Nikolayev on 15 July, BelTA has learned.

Piotr Parkhomchik noted that Belarus and the Chuvash Republic have built a smooth system of product supplies. “There is still room for growth in our cooperation. For example, we regularly buy railway castings from a Chuvash enterprise. Indeed, both Belarus and Russia are interested in ramping up the production of freight railway cars,” the vice-premier noted.
 

According to him, the Chuvash Republic supplies 300-315 railcar sets to Belarus every month. “We are ready to take it to  550-600. If you help us create such an enterprise in Belarus, it will definitely be a win-win. We are ready to do this,” said Piotr Parkhomchik. “Simultaneously, we are discussing the construction of such a plant in Belarus with our Chinese partners,” he added.
 

Casting has always been in short supply in the post-Soviet space. More than 40% of railway castings were produced by Ukraine, so it is necessary to invest in this industry and increase the output of this type of products, the deputy prime minister remarked.
