“It’s a pleasure to meet with friends and discuss any issues that may arise. I have just reviewed our trade figures and the trends again. Despite the fact that you are located on the far edge of our common homeland - from Brest to Vladivostok - the trends are still good. This year, we must definitely surpass the $100 million threshold in trade,” the president said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko invited Oleg Kozhemyako, taking advantage of his stay in Belarus, to once again get familiar with the country’s capabilities. “We are hosting the Belagro exhibition. Take a look. There might be something of interest to you. There is complete trust between us,” he said.
The head of state noted that Belarus has opened a multi-brand center in Primorye, that Belarusian product stores are operating there, and that these products are in demand in the region.
“The quality,” Oleg Kozhemyako emphasized.
