During the visit of a delegation of Belarusian Cement Company to the Siberian Federal District of the Russian Federation, the parties reached an agreement on the rhythmic supply of coal for Belarusian cement plants. The leadership of the Republic of Khakassia will monitor  this issue. Director General of Belarusian Cement Company Aleksandr Dovgalo met with Minister of Economic Development of the Republic of Khakassia Roman Kovtun.
