Regions of Belarus introduce their potential to Russians at exhibition in Moscow

12 января 2024

Days of the Brest Region are held in the Belarusian pavilion at the All-Russian Exhibition Center in Moscow. This region was the first to present a large-scale exposition within the framework of the forum "Russia".

Until the end of January, Muscovites and guests of the Russian capital will be able to discover Brest Region in a new way: to learn more about the history of the Brest Fortress, about the unique flora and fauna of Belovezhskaya Pushcha, as well as about the scientific and industrial potential of the region. Then Vitebsk Region will take up the baton. All the regions of Belarus will make presentations until July 3.

Dmitry Mezentsev, State Secretary of the Union State:

Today a new tradition is being opened - not just a Russian-Belarusian tradition, but a tradition of confirming our joint history. Here, at the legendary VDNKh exhibition, in the pavilion of Belarus, which is dozens of years old, the presentation of all Belarusian regions begins. This all strengthens the foundation of our relations in such a difficult time of unprecedented pressure. But you see that the potential of the Belarusian and Russian regions, their innovations, search, and ingenuity serve as a response to the sanctions pressure from the Western countries.

By the way, the Belarusian pavilion at VDNKh is very popular with Russians. It even set a record of attendance - 1 million 200 thousand people visited it last year.
