MOSTY, 14 August (BelTA) - The fifth Congress of Small Towns of Belarus' Grodno Oblast and Russia's Nizhny Novgorod Oblast will convene in Bolshoye Boldino, Yevgeny Lyulin, Chairman of the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Legislative Assembly, said during a press briefing, BelTA learned.
Summing up the events, Yevgeny Lyulin noted:"We have identified numerous objectives and aspirations. What is particularly encouraging is our consistent annual progress. Currently, I'm compiling reports from all thematic working groups – each has produced remarkable proposals. Most significantly, participants emphasized that biennial collaboration isn't sufficient. Every working group must now develop concrete action plans for the period between the congresses.”
He stressed that the regions' joint initiatives across various sectors would be launched as early as tomorrow.
“The next congress will be hosted by Bolshoye Boldino, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast," Yevgeny Lyulin said. "Cultural exchange will feature as a central theme, with invitations extended to fledgling writers and journalists.”
Commenting on the events held across Grodno Oblast’s districts during the fourth Congress of Small Towns (with final sessions concluding today in Mosty), Yevgeny Lyulin remarked: "We’ve gathered countless impressions and aspirations. Each time, we arrive with certainty that we’ll take another step forward, toward deepening ties, strengthening economic cooperation, fostering cultural exchange, and connecting our youth.”
“These meetings facilitate a mutual exchange of our nations’ accumulated experience," Yevgeny Lyulin emphasized. "Both sides bring substantial best practices to the table, enabling genuinely productive dialogue."
Beyond economic cooperation, youth affairs head the agenda of the congress as well, he noted. “We recognize that our most dynamic and progressive youth will shape the future, driving economic development, influencing policy, and forging our shared cultural identity. This is why it’s crucial for them to build friendships now, learn to collaborate, and develop mutual understanding," he emphasized, noting Belarus’ strong track record in youth programs and its readiness to share expertise with Russian partners.
