The representative of Russian delegation arrived in the morning. The day before, the leaders of the countries discussed the development of the Belarusian-Russian relations during a telephone conversation. They will meet in person until the end of April. Minsk and Moscow are ready to work on rapprochement of positions and solution of accumulated issues, for example, in the field of tax and customs systems. The implementation of the agreements reached earlier by the heads of state will give additional impetus to the economies of the countries.
As for the economy, the trade turnover approached $ 30 billion last year. The level of 2020 wasn't reached due to the pandemic and the foreign policy environment. The economic statistics of the beginning of the year are encouraging: the countries managed to increase the volumes by 15%. At the same time, there is a need for a more balanced bilateral trade.
