10 сентября 2021

Governments finalizing work on 28 union programs agreed upon by presidents.  

Zaslavl residence is now the center of great Union politics. The Council of Ministers is about to start. Roman Golovchenko met his Russian counterpart a few minutes ago. Mikhail Mishustin's plane landed at the National Airport "Minsk" at about 11:30. 

The necessity of rapprochement of the two economies was discussed several years ago. The package of documents includes all the spheres and offers great opportunities! Creation of equal conditions for enterprises, access to state procurement, convergence of approaches to state support of small and medium enterprises - this is just a short list of measures. The main thing is that everything must be on a parity basis. Both Belarusian and Russian experts, including those who participated in our broadcast, repeatedly stated that economic integration was both necessary and beneficial for Moscow and Minsk. Especially now that the countries are living under sanction pressure, which means that it is more important than ever to be together.

There is understanding from both sides, and this means that the Council of Ministers of the Union promises to be successful and fruitful. We will hear all the details from the mouths of the heads of governments. Roman Golovchenko and Mikhail Mishustin  are going to make a press statement at the end of the meeting.
