NIZHNY NOVGOROD, 25 June (BelTA) - The Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia is a driving force behind the development of the Belarus-Russia Union State’s economy, Chairman of the Standing Commission on Legislation and State Building of the Council of the Republic Mikhail Rusy told BelTA.
The 12th Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia begins its work in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. It will run until 27 June.

It is organized by the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus and the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of Russia.
There is a strong interest in the forum and many people are eager to participate in it. “A large number of agreements have already been reached at the regional level, between regional and district councils, and between legislative assemblies, which is encouraging. Around 150 such agreements are expected to be signed on the sidelines of the forum. In addition, over 100 contracts for a substantial amount will be signed. This will lead to the creation of new jobs, the growth of the economy, and the improvement of people’s well-being,” Mikhail Rusy said. “The forum is a powerful tool that helps solve many significant issues.” He also emphasized that “these meetings are a kind of unifying force, the strength of the people and the strength of the law, which helps us stay on the right path.”
Participants have arrived in Nizhny Novgorod today. The key events will kick off tomorrow, on 26 June.
