Another innovation is a planned event together with the Defense Ministry. There will be a military orchestra and military food with soldiers' porridge and tea at the exhibition.
According to Igor Brylo, Belarus' exports to Russia will be actively discussed as well. “It is a topical issue for us now and a number of events are planned with the Russian Federation in this regard. At the moment representatives from Russia are interested in our agricultural machinery, products and other things, so we will be discussing supplies.”
