“First of all, it is necessary to promptly finalize the formation of a common industrial policy of the Union State. Both sides will benefit from it,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
In this regard, he noted that many assembly lines at the enterprises of Belarus and Russia work on each other's components. “There should not be any protective measures against partners at the legislative level.
