MINSK, 15 September (BelTA) – Belarus is eager to facilitate the development of Kherson Oblast in every possible way, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting with Russia’s Kherson Oblast Governor Vladimir Saldo, BelTA has learned.
“There is much work to be done. You should know that we will facilitate the development of your region in every possible way. As much as we can,” the head of state said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that Vladimir Saldo will have an opportunity to tour Belarusian enterprises and see things that might be useful for the development of his region during the visit.
“I follow the developments in Russia’s new territories very closely. You know it very well. Kherson Oblast in particular. I follow your trips. I am a bit surprised that in this situation, when it is not just some shooting but a real war on your land, you are harvesting crops and dealing with other issues,” the president said. “We are eager to assist you in every possible way with construction, agriculture, and supplies of necessary equipment. I know very well how much attention Vladimir Putin pays to the development of these regions. Considerable funding is being allocated.”
The head of state is confident that Belarusian products offer the best value for money for Kherson Oblast. “Moreover, we are keen to set up service centers for mechanical engineering products,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
He also expressed willingness to cooperate in agriculture. This includes Belarus’ interest in fruit and vegetable products from Kherson Oblast. “If such an opportunity is available, I am ready to send specialists to Kherson Oblast so that they could take a look and discuss with you what we can buy,” the president said.
