MINSK, 17 February (BelTA) - Minister Counselor of the Russian embassy in Belarus Pyotr Frolov commented on the trade between Belarus and Russia as he spoke in an interview with STV TV channel, BelTA has learned.
“Now we have somewhere near $60 billion. I think we will break through this ceiling and reach another record level. We have a very good dialogue in the economic sector at annual regional forums. Each time these events help lay the foundation which gradually turn into practical cooperation between Belarus and Russian regions,” Pyotr Frolov said.
In his words, several Russian governors have already visited Belarus earlier this year. “We are not looking too far ahead in our plans, somewhere up to April. Astrakhan Oblast, Primorye Krai, Sverdlovsk. There will still be enough events. These visits focus on the practical component of cooperation. Working groups hold meetings, and negotiations are held between the existing subjects of economic relations. We have big plans and will continue at the same pace,” the diplomat emphasized.
