Golovchenko: our work resulted in double increase in trade between Belarus and Astrakhan Region

This was stated by Belarus’ Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko at a meeting with Astrakhan Region Governor Igor Babushkin, which took place in the Council of Ministers

At the very beginning of the meeting, Roman Golovchenko shared his impressions of his working visit to Astrakhan, which took place in late October 2022, “It was a very productive visit: we observed a great inclination from you personally and your entire team to implement our joint projects. The negotiations then were extremely efficient.”

It should be reminded that as a result of the government delegation’s visit to this region of the Russian Federation, almost $25m of contracts was signed.

The Prime Minister eagerly shared the results of mutual agreements, “The result of our work is good: a double increase in trade, suggesting that the meetings (which were not limited to our trip, the work was carried out through all possible channels) were effective. It is especially pleasing that this growth is mutual: we are growing both in exports and imports, i.e., it is a two-way road.”

Roman Golovchenko thanked the Astrakhan Region Governor for his personal participation and control in strengthening mutually beneficial bilateral co-operation, as well as a return visit to our country.

“This is important for maintaining the appropriate dynamics of work and adjustments in the agreements that we have,” he stressed.
