An international economic forum was held in St. Petersburg. The event brought together 15,000 people from more than 100 countries of the world. Three days passed under the motto of Creating an Economy of Trust. The slogan once again emphasizes the idea that without trust and joint efforts global results cannot be achieved – be it in addressing the current threats and challenges or effective work of the economy and business.
Specific steps in this direction were made. The results of the forum speak for themselves. Over 500 agreements worth almost 2.4 trillion rubles were signed. The main topics of the discussion were opportunities for investment, promotion of exports to foreign markets, and development of the digital economy. The Belarusian delegation also participated in the main discussions.
Belteleradiocompany managed to talk with Vasily Matyushevsky – the first vice-prime minister of Belarus – and find out about the progress of the negotiations of Belarus with the WTO and what needs to be done in the financial market of the country, as well as about ambitious plans for the development of private and medium-sized businesses.
