The head of state highlighted the frequency of meetings at the level of heads of state recently. All issues are addressed promptly. "In fact, all the necessary decisions have been made by the presidents. The regions that directly have resources, both human, material and financial, have no obstacles to cooperation,” the president said. “A few years ago, we used to argue trying to proved something to each other. In the current conditions, there is no need to convince anyone, neither in Russia nor in Belarus, of the advantages of our partnership."
Aleksandr Lukashenko stated that the responsibility of local authorities, business and society has noticeably increased: "And things got off the ground. Mutual trade in goods and services exceeded a record $50 billion last year. It is important that this year Belarus has already hosted 16 heads of Russian regions."
A number of business meetings have also been held. Members of the Belarusian government led by the prime minister, regional governors have held many productive negotiations with the heads of Russian regions, and are consistently working on the implementation of the agreements reached at the highest level.
