Alexander Lukashenko met the Chair of Russian VTB Bank Andrey Kostin. The bank opened in Belarus 6 years ago. In 2013 it invested 300 million USD to the Belarusian economy. The President offered the bank to expand cooperation.


Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus: Such a giant as VTB Bank is capable of carrying out big projects, for example, in the field of defense. We can supply Russia with the necessary products. Since we have a common army in the Western direction, this will be a contribution to the Belarusian defense as well.


Andrey Kostin, the Chair of VTB Bank, member of Supervisory Board: I would like to greet you on the world hockey championship. This is recognition of your sport by the world community and a contribution to economic and cultural relations. Our bank is satisfied with its work in Belarus. Belarus has good banking culture. That is why our bank is giving credits to the government, companies and citizens.
