MINSK, 7 June (BelTA) - Primorye Territory has an interest in Belarusian vehicles and elevators, First Vice Governor - Chairwoman of the Government of Russia's Primorye Territory Vera Shcherbina said at a meeting with Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Leonid Zayats in Minsk on 7 June, BelTA has learned.
"In recent years, Primorye Territory and Belarus have made significant progress in the development of relations and in increasing trade. Time dictates new conditions now and we need to reckon with them. We need to develop new forms of cooperation that will be mutually beneficial. In addition, there are a lot of areas of common interests," Vera Shcherbina noted.
According to her, the region is most interested in road, agricultural, utility vehicles and also elevators. "We are implementing a program in Vladivostok to replace more than 500 elevators. At the moment, 100 elevators have already been delivered," she said.
Vera Shcherbina gave a high opinion of the quality of Belarusian food products. "We would also like to cooperate in terms of training specialists in agriculture and veterinary medicine," Vera Shcherbina added. She also touched upon the topic of Belarusian equipment leasing programs.
Another issue that was considered during the working meeting was the idea to set up a wholesale distribution center in Belarus. "Now we have large flows of goods from the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. After delivery, containers should not be returned empty. I think we will find common ground here and this will be beneficial to everyone," Vera Shcherbina emphasized.
