Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Council of Deputies Dmitry Demidov held a meeting with a delegation from the Volgograd region, headed by Chairman of the Regional Duma Alexander Bloshkin.

– We need to continue strengthening economic relations, assist business entities in establishing connections, and seek ways to expand cooperation. This is important for the successful development of the economy, on which the well-being of our people and the economic potential of states depend, – emphasized Dmitry Demidov.

The head of the Vitebsk region's deputy corps noted that Belarus's trade turnover with the Volgograd region for January-April of the current year amounted to 87 million dollars. The country's largest flagships, such as MTZ, MAZ, Gomselmash, and others, cooperate with the Russian region.

– As for the producers of the Vitebsk region, the export of goods to the Volgograd region for four months amounted to about 2.6 million dollars. For example, Novopolotsk "EddiTek" resumed shipments of additives for engine oils worth 1.3 million dollars. The Kokhanovo Pipe Plant "Beltrupplast" shipped products worth about 700 thousand dollars, – noted Dmitry Demidov. – Work on the export of liquefied gas cylinders by LLC "Cylinders-Bel", fiberglass fabrics by OJSC "PolotskSteklovolokno", and sprayers by LLC "Belama Plus" has been intensified. UP "Polymerkonstruktsiya" is interested in close cooperation with the Volgograd region.

The head of the Vitebsk region's deputy corps expressed confidence that all plans for cooperation, which are built on the terms of counter-trade and long-term relationships, will undoubtedly be realized. We need to find schemes that would lead to mutual interest of enterprises and regions.

– There are close economic ties between our regions, and today they are only strengthening, – emphasized Alexander Bloshkin. – Our people enthusiastically buy light industry products, agricultural products, and machinery. The executive authorities of our region have recently concluded new agreements on cooperation in economics, culture, and tourism. We highly value this.
