This was stated today, October 1, by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart, Roman Golovchenko, on the sidelines of the Eurasian Economic Forum (EEF), held in Yerevan.

At the same time, he highlighted that the governments of the two countries are “actively working to implement the instructions and agreements” given by the leaders of Belarus and Russia.
“We are accelerating work in all major areas. “We pay priority attention to strengthening trade and economic cooperation.” – noted Mishustin.
The head of the Russian Government also reported that in seven months of this year the turnover between Belarus and the Russian Federation increased to 2 trillion 355 billion Russian rubles.
