Lukashenko on development of transport and logistics potential in Union State
At a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State in Minsk today, December 6th, President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko named several strategic directions for the further development of the Union State – in particular, commenting on the development of transport and logistics potential
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, Belarusian export cargoes have begun being shipped through Russian ports, which brought mutual benefit. “On the one hand, it solved our task of organising export logistics. On the other hand, it gave a significant increase to the profits of Russian companies,” he explained.
Meanwhile, as noted by Aleksandr Lukashenko, there are still many reserves that are not used to the full. “The implementation of the project dealing with the Northern Sea Route is next in line. We have already tried to transport goods along this route; it worked well. Russian partners are working on a pilot project to create a high-speed Moscow-St. Petersburg railway, and we are counting on its continuation along the Moscow-Minsk route,” he said. “Vladimir Vladimirovich, your statement that there will be such a highway connecting Moscow and Brest through Minsk has inspired Belarusians, because a lot of people move from Minsk to Moscow, and recently we even had to add two more trains.”
