“We have long-established ties across the economy, agriculture, industry, education and culture. Belarusians have long taken part in sporting events in Krasnoyarsk Territory. You are always welcome here, and we invite you to visit our Siberian region more often. We are kindred peoples, and that is how it has been and how it will remain,” Mikhail Kotyukov noted.
