According to Andrei Kuznetsov, cooperation between the two countries is at the highest level, integration projects are being implemented, the sides are interacting closely and are already working on further joint projects to create Union State goods. In this context, cooperation with enterprises such as BELAZ, MTZ and Gomselmash is being considered, and these issues are already being discussed with Russian partners.
The Minister also identified machine tool building as another priority area. According to him, the Ministry of Industry of Belarus feels the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia. This year, a machine tool building holding company has been established in Belarus, separated into a distinct unit, and the sides intend to work together in this direction.
